Two other main suspects of Farkhunda’s murder arrested

Afghanistan ministry of interior said that the other two main perpetrators of Farkhunda’s killing who were involved from the beginning of the incident were arrested.

Farkhunda, 27, was beaten to death by an angry mob of men who wrongly accused her of burning a Qu’ran.

Kabul police have said that the two main perpetrators of Farkhunda’s case who were involved in burning her were arrested but another five of the main suspects are still escapees.

Farkhunda was pushed from a roof, run over by a car and set on fire before her body was thrown in the Kabul River – in full view of several policeman.

Fact Finding Commission, established after killing of the 27-year old Farkhunda to probe the case, has found Farkhunda innocent.

The fact-finding commission urged the ministry of Hajj affairs to address the situations of shrines.

The commission also revealed a room in Shah-e Do Shamira Shrine that they have seized plenty of condoms and used condoms form that room.

While there are some rumors that Farkhunda’s murder was an organized incident.

Farkhunda, who like many Afghans has just one name, was a 27-year-old who wore a religious veil and held a degree in religious studies. The details of her killing seem to get murkier with each day since her death, as people offer competing narratives about the mob’s motivations. Everyone seems to agree that on Thursday, she got into an argument with a man who sold amulets in front of the Shah-Do Shamshera shrine.

But police were also criticized for not doing enough to control the mob. No sooner than she had been pulled to safety than Farkhunda was thrown back into the hands of her attackers.

Farkhunda’s funeral was attended by dozens of women’s rights activists, several of whom also helped carry her coffin, demanding justice for the young teacher.
