A body of a teenage boy identified as Talha has been found at Lahore’s under-construction house.
Hailing from Faisalabad, the 14-year-old came to Lahore to visit his maternal uncle in the Paragon Housing Society. Police discovered the deceased’s body filled with torture marks.
Incident
Talha left his uncle’s house on Tuesday to play in the street and did not return for some hours. His uncle launched a search and later found the tortured body at the under-construction house by his residence.
Case
The police have declared it a murder case as the body had profound torture marks in the head and other parts of his body, clearly showing that he was killed mercilessly. A case was immediately lodged on the complaint of his uncle and his Talha’s body has been sent to the morgue for autopsy.
Who killed Talha?
A suspect named Raza has confessed to killing Talha. He used to love the fiance of his deceased friend Talha. In his confession, Raza admitted that he brutally tortured Talha before killing him.
Raza, who claims to be 15-year-old said that he killed his deceased friend out of revenge as his proposal was rejected by girl’s family and she was set to tie the knot with Talha in future.
The other side
One of Talha’s cousin stated in an Instagram post that Talha’s killer is an 8-year-old boy and not 15. His father is a lawyer and he is protecting his son. According to the post, Raza visisted Talha and asked him to hang out upon which Talha agreed.
Unaware Talha was taken to a vacant plot by Raza where he brutally tortured Talha, slammed bricks at his face multiple times, stabbed him at least four to five times, and broke his bones before killing the 14-year-old Talha.
