A Lahore antiterrorism court on Wednesday extended the physical remand of alleged serial killer Suhail Shehzad, accused of raping and murdering four minor boys in Kasur’s Chunian tehsil. Shehzad had been remanded into police custody on October 2 and on Wednesday a 14-day extension in his remand was given by the court. Judge Abdul Qayyum Khan, who was presiding over the hearing, asked the suspect “if he had been beat up in custody”.
“No one beat me up,” the suspect replied, adding, “I request the same treatment this time as well.” When asked by the judge whether Shehzad’s medical exam had been carried out, the investigation officer replied in the affirmative, saying that it had been taken the very day it was ordered.
