A 27-year-old woman called Farkhunda, killed by a mob in front of police in capital Kabul last week for burning a Koran, was wrongly accused, Afghanistan’s top criminal investigator said yesterday.
“I couldn’t find any evidence to say Farkhunda burnt the holy Koran,” General Mohammad Zahir told reporters.
He vowed to punish those involved and said 13 people, including eight police, had already been arrested.
