Having buried him on Sunday, the family of 23yearold Mustafa Amir, who was kidnapped and murdered in cold blood weeks ago, finally found closure after getting the body exhumed a few days before from a cemetery for unclaimed bodies.
In a DHA mosque, the funeral prayer was said and he was buried in the DHA, Phase VIII cemetery.
After going through needed legal procedures, the body was forwarded to his family members previously.
With police and doctors’ approval—that further tests were not needed for legal purposes—Saad Edhi, spokesperson of the Edhi Foundation, informed Dawn they turned the body to the family for burial on Sunday.
Two weeks after the boy was abducted from DHA on January 6, his mother got a ransom phone call. Investigation led to the arrest of two suspects — Armaghan and Sheraz — who confessed Mustafa was killed in DHA and they burned his body and car in Hub.
Having discovered the body in the burned car, the Balochistan police passed it over to the Edhi Foundation to be buried in their cemetery for unidentified bodies.
Later, the body was exhumed on Friday from the cemetery by a medical committee gathering DNA samples for his identification. Later, a Karachi University laboratory found that the DNA samples from the body were linked with Mustafa’s mother.
