The police officer stated that they had arrested Sohail’s former employer and were currently investigating him.
Tajik also informed media that the suspect was a ‘habitual criminal’ and had a history of abusing children.
The suspect had been caught in 2011 for raping a minor, but was released from prison after only serving only 1.5 years of his five-year sentences.
Tajik apprised media that the suspect had a preference for children aged 10 to 12 and he used to target those who lived in the same area he lived in.
He added that the suspect would offer rides to his victims and take them to a hill on the outskirts of Chunian and sexually assault them. If his victims cried, he would strangle them to death and dump them in a ditch.
The story of Sohail Shehzad supports the oft-repeated claim that sexual predators have suffered sexual abuse in their past, which is why they turned out to be the way they did.
