PESHAWAR: The Abbottabad Police have started fresh investigation into the murder case of the three-year old girl Faryal, who had gone missing and was later found dead with torture marks on her body.
An official said the police have constituted two teams of officers to work out the case on priority basis. Each team will be assisted by at least one psychologist.

A source said that police during the last few days have scientifically interviewed 12 people and used psychologists and polygraphs to reach the real culprits.
“The police have been able to draw a sketch of the suspect and are proceedings cautiously,” the source disclosed.
