Steel Town police found the body of a missing minor boy in Gulshan-e-Hadeed’s Phase-I on Wednesday. Sub Inspector Manzoor Hussain Chandio told The News that Khalil Ahmed, father of eight-year-old Muhammad Subhan, had filed a report about his missing son on August 15.
In his statement, Ahmed said his son had gone to take part in an Independence Day rally in Gulshan-e-Hadeed on August 14, but he did not return home. Family members launched a search in the evening but failed to find the boy.
Chandio said some residents called police on Wednesday when a scavenger told them about the presence of a corpse in a garbage dump. A police team reached the spot and took the body to the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Cnetre (JPMC) for a postmortem examination.
A medico-legal officer said in his report the boy was stabbed to death with a sharp-edged object. He said the victim had not been subjected to sexual assault. Police have registered a case and started an investigation.
