Meanwhile, Wali Abid’s murder and rape case in Karachi has taken a new turn as police examine claims that the murderer, Hamza, may have been involved in dark web activities, ARY News reported.
According to reports, investigators are conducting a forensic examination of the suspect’s mobile phones after reportedly recovering videos showing scenes of violence and torture. Officials are also probing whether the suspect had any links to the dark web, though no official confirmation has been issued so far.
The horrific incident took place in Lea Market, where six-year-old Wali was sexually assaulted and murdered before his body was thrown from the third floor of a residential building.
Speaking from the crime scene, ARY News correspondent Nazir Shah said investigators continue to collect evidence while expanding the scope of the probe.
Residents told ARY News that the suspect had no known job but frequently spent money on children in the neighbourhood by buying them cold drinks and snacks. They also claimed he owned expensive iPhones despite being unemployed.
According to locals, the suspect’s father works as a carpenter, raising questions about the source of the suspect’s income. They urged police to obtain his physical remand and investigate his financial activities, online connections and digital devices.
Police are expected to rely on forensic analysis of the suspect’s mobile phones to determine whether the alleged dark web links or violent content have any connection to the Wali’s rape and murder.
