Suspects continued to rape 5-year-old Marwah even after she died: police

KARACHI: Police on Friday confirmed that five-year-old Marwah, who was raped and murdered by two persons in Karachi, was subjected to rape even after she had died.

According to a Geo News report, the five-year-old was taken by her neighbour, Faizu, to his rooftop where she was allegedly raped and killed by him and another suspect, Abdullah.

Faizu, according to the report, told police the two had continued to rape Marwah after she had died.

Samples, the officer added, were also taken from the girl’s clothes and the bed of one of the suspects, Faiz, alias Faizu.

Faiz and Abdullah — the two prime suspects who confessed to the gang-rape — lived in the same area where the five-year-old’s house is located, police said, adding that the former is a tailor by profession and the latter a garbage picker of Afghan origin.

They said Abdullah had lived in the UK for seven years until he was deported. It was Faiz who had first kidnapped the child, they added, but both men had raped her.

Police had said Thursday that Faiz was a habitual offender and lived alone a few houses away from the child’s residence in the same street. He had revealed the name of his accomplice, Abdullah, who lived on a footpath in the area after he was taken into custody.
