The bodies of four abducted men, all shot in the head, were discovered in bushes along Link Road in Steel Town on Friday morning.

After being called to the scene, police carried the dead to the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC).

The preliminary investigations showed that the four were kidnapped from an unknown place by unidentified people and murdered, said Senior Superintendent of Police Rao Anwar of the Malir district.

Although the identities of the victims were yet to be confirmed, Anwar said the men had been killed over some enmity.

He added that no blood was found on the crime scene and that confirmed that the men had been killed somewhere else and later their bodies were dumped at the place where they were discovered.

The victims had beards and were wearing shalwar kameez. One of the men had a prosthetic leg.

The postmortem examinations have been carried out and the police have aired a message seeking information that could help identify the deceased, who were found without any identity card on them.
