Police have laid charges against three youths, who are alleged to have been involved in the brutal killing of 16yr old Zoya Bibi, whose partly decomposed body was found floating in a river in Omkaar a few weeks ago.

According to detectives, the three were last seen drinking a few metres from the river with the victim.

The three were arrested after an extensive police investigation and will appear in the Nasinu Magistrates court this hour.

Bibi's body was found by some children who were playing near the river.
