PESHAWAR: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police on Wednesday claimed to have resolved Asma rape and murder case.
Inspector General Police Salahuddin Mehsood, and Regional Police Officer (RPO) Mardan Mian Saeed briefed the media on the progress made in the case.
The police also presented the suspect with his face covered.
The IG said despite difficulties the case has been solved within 25 days and two suspects arrested.
He said it was a "blind case" in which crime scene was located in a sugarcane filed.
The IG said there was neither CCTV footage, nor any witness nor any suspect that could have helped police arrest the suspects . "But police officers solved it with their hard work from day one", said he.
He said Asma's parents have expressed complete confidence in police, adding that police needs society's help to solve such cases.
Speaking to the media, RPO Mardan said Muhammad Nabi, who is a close relative of the deceased, murdered the girl.
He said on January 15 the suspect asked the minor girl to bring sugarcane from the filed. The girl went to the filed twice and the suspect followed her as she went there for the third time.
He said the suspect strangled the girl after raping her and fled.
The RPO said finger marks were found around the neck of the girl.
