The remand of the prime suspect, Khawar Hussain Burney, in the murder case which took place near Karachi’s Do Darya area was extended by a judicial magistrate on Wednesday by three more days. The investigating officer (IO) of the case had produced the accused before the magistrate and requested that the court extend his remand for 10 more days. The IO has also named three brothers, Haider Hussain Burney, Hasan Hussain Burney and Hasnain Hussain Burney; Raza Hussain Burney and his brother Haris Hussain Burney; Danish, Hammad, Abdul Rehman, Noman, Umar Pirwani; and a woman, Mehak, as co-accused in the remand papers. The suspects had chased the victims and opened indiscriminate fire on them in what seemed to be an act of vengeance.
