Preliminary court ordered the arrest of an Arabic-speaking man in the second session of Farkhunda Case trial.
The Arabic-speaking man was arrested at the day Farkhunda was being lynched but he was later released.
In yesterday’s session, new information popped up. A security officer who was among the suspects arrested replied to a question of the judge that he does not have authority. He said he arrested an Arabic-speaking person on the day of the incident but his officers released him.
The judge then summoned Kabul police chief and some other high ranking security officers to clarify the situation.
In today’s session Kabul police chief presented the Arabic-speaking man who was arrested and later released.
The Arabic-speaking man identified himself as Wahab. He said his deceased parents were from Zabul province but he rose in Saudi Arabia.
The documents he was carrying were incomplete and seemed suspicious to the judge. At the end of the session Judge ordered the arrest of the Arabic-speaking man and an investigation to find out full information about him.
The trial of the 49 suspects arrested in the case will resume tomorrow.
Farkhunda, a helpless Afghan girl was brutally beaten to death by angry mob, her body was then run over by a car and set ablaze during day light in capital Kabul last month.
She was wrongfully accused of burning a copy of the holy Quran but the allegation was proven baseless after an investigation conducted by the Ministry of Hajj and Religious Affairs.
