A nine-year-old boy was raped and murdered in Kabirwala tehsil of Khanewal district, police said on Tuesday.
As per initial reports, Faizan went to his madrassah on Monday evening and never returned. The minor’s family started searching for him and his body was found from the fields.
Police said they have arrested a neighbour, named Shabbir, on the basis of suspicion who later confessed to the crime upon investigation.
The case is one of the numerous incidents of child abuse and murder that have been highlighted in the media after the rape and murder cases of two minors — Aasma and Zainab — early last year sparked widespread condemnation as well as calls to address the issue of child sexual abuse.
According to the data collected by non-governmental organisation Sahil, as many as 11 cases of child sexual abuse are reported from across Pakistan daily.
