A 12-year-old boy was killed in a southern district of Sindh province in Pakistan after reportedly being gang-raped, strangled and thrown into a water drain by two suspects, the police said on Friday.
A top police official from Tando Mohammad Khan district, Shabir Ahmed Sethar, said police have arrested two suspects Abdul Sattar Sathio and Mashooq Ali Sathio who have confessed to the crime, Dawn online reported.
Sethar said the accused revealed that they have been involved in such acts before as well. The postmortem report of the deceased has established gang rape and strangling of the throat, he added.
