Kharotabad killings: Two foreign victims identified by Tajik parents
The Identities of two of the five foreigners, who were gunned down by Frontier Corps and police personnel in the Kharotabad area on May 17, were determined on Saturday by a couple from Tajikistan who visited the Bolan Medical Complex in Quetta.
A man and his wife, both Tajik nationals, visited the morgue accompanied by a Tajik diplomat and identified two of the foreigners as their son and daughter-in-law. The bodies of the foreigners have been kept in the morgue since the day of the incident.
According to doctors, the couple was the youngest among the victims, aged between 20 to 26 years. The young man was a Tajik national, while his wife, who was seven-months pregnant, was Russian.
The parents refused to talk to the media and declined being photographed.
They wept after seeing bodies of their loved ones and expressed grief at the killing.
They arrived at the Quetta International Airport from Islamabad and after a brief stay in a local hotel visited the hospital to identify the bodies. They intend to bury the bodies in Quetta.
“The parents told us that they would bury the two bodies in Quetta today (Sunday),” sources at the hospital said.
