Hidden behind bushes, three decomposed bodies reported to be around a month old were found from an area near Muhammad Khan Colony, Manghopir on Sunday.

Appearing to be in their mid 40s to early 50s, the bodies of the men were discovered by a passerby. The decomposition of the bodies had rendered ascertaining their identities extremely difficult.

The bodies were shifted to the Abbasi Shaheed hospital for medico-legal formalities, where the MLO confirmed that the bodies were at least one month old. The cause of their death could, however, not be ascertained.

According to police the bodies were placed at a distance of 15 feet from each other. They claimed that the men were kidnapped by unidentified people who dumped their bodies in their area after killing them in some other area.
