KARACHI: The matter of skulls and humans remains recovered from a garbage dump in Defence Housing Authority has been resolved.
Medico-legal officer Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC) Dr Sikandar Azam released a report saying the bones were used for “study purposes” by medical students. The report said some of the bones have pencil and marker marks as well and there was no fracture on any bone.
According to police, the bones were found near a garbage dump in Phase I area of DHA, Karachi. It included three damaged skulls, ribs and other parts of the human skeleton. District South Police handed them over to JPMC for medical examination.
