ISLAMABAD: An 11-year-old Hindu boy was sexually assaulted and brutally murdered in Pakistan's Sindh province.

The boy went missing on Friday evening and his body was later found on Saturday in an abandoned house in Babarloi town in the Khairpur Mir area of the province, his family members said.

"The entire family was busy with Guru Nanak's birthday events. We do not know how the child went missing. He was found dead in the house at 11 pm," Raj Kumar, a relative of the child, was quoted as saying by a newspaper.
