KABUL: (Middle East Press) Afghan police arrested a man over raping and murdering of a 3-year-old child in Kabul city Tuesday morning, local officials said.
Abdul Rahman Rahimi, Kabul police chief Gen has informed regarding the arrest of the suspect during a press conference in Kabul today.
The 3-year-old boy was abducted, raped and brutally killed by a group of people and his dead body was left in a ruined place in 8th police district of Kabul city.
The issue was first shared during a general session of the lawmakers in the Lower House of Parliament – Wolesi Jirga earlier this week.
A lawmaker Abdul Rauf Inami said the child was brutally tortured as signs of torture were clearly seen on his body.
According to Inami, the child had lost his teeth because the gang used stones to repeatedly hit on his face and head.
This comes as sexual abuse and rape of children have been rampant in Afghanistan, specifically in northern parts of the country during the recent months.
