The body of a murdered South African national was found in a plastic bag on the outskirts of Peshawar on Sunday, police said. The body of the 26-year-old man was found in the plastic bag - of a type normally used for farming - in Peshawar's Baboo Garhi suburbs, local police investigator Kachkol Khan told AFP.
According to the passport found in his pocket, the man was identified as Kenneth Scott Andrew, a resident of Durban, Khan said, adding that he had entered Peshawar on January 1 this year on tourist visa.
Police are now treating the case as murder, Khan said. Doctors who carried out the post mortem on the body said that the man had no firearm injury or knife wounds and they suspected that he had been given some poisonous material. "We have taken the samples and sent to the forensic lab in Lahore. It appears that he vomited blood before his death," said a doctor who conducted the autopsy.
