Eight suspects were arrested after the body of a minor girl was found in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s town of Charsadda, police said on Thursday.

According to police, the minor girl was kidnapped and then sexually assaulted before being brutally murdered, and her body bears torture marks.

Sad state of affairs but also glad that these are being highlighted and not ignored by press.

Our society needs direction and supervision. We are losing our traditional family values, our moral standards are deteriorating everyday.

It is our government's job to guide our nation and to infuse in us a firm ideological spirit that equips us to deal with this new age.

Horrible.

That's a great point, never considered that. Still such a terrible thing to occur. There's a problem in South Asia.

For decades these heinous crimes have been happening and the law and order are absolutely crippled and utterly disgraceful.

Criminals have been in power for decades and no law and order were made to protect the citizens of the country from some very filthy sick people who are roaming around freely amongst us all.

Thousands of kids of all ages are being targeted by these monsters on a daily basis and there is yet to be any process to be put into place once they're caught.

Have been happening in our societies forever and only now they are getting reported perhaps.
