Merchant’s murder: remand of accused extended

ATTOCK, Jan 1: The judicial magistrate has extended the physical remand of the main accused in moneychanger murder case for three days.
Besides, police have claimed that they have recovered Rs2.5 million looted amount and weapon used in the crime from the alleged killer.
Saddar police SHO Inspector Mohammad Shafique informed Dawn that accused Fazaldad, also friend of the deceased moneychanger Shah Rehman, was produced before the judicial magistrate the other day after expiry of his four-day physical remand.
