Man Arrested for Murder of Two Women in Kabul

The Kabul police command under Taliban administration has announced the arrest of a man accused of murdering two women in the 17th district of Kabul city. The incident occurred on Friday, and the arrested individual is named “Shergul.” Khalid Zadran, spokesperson for the Kabul police command, stated that the man was detained by officers from the 17th district police and confessed to the crime during preliminary investigations. According to him, after completing the initial inquiries, the case file will be handed over to the relevant judicial authorities to proceed with the legal process. While accurate and transparent crime statistics in the country are not regularly published, some Kabul residents have consistently demanded better security in urban areas and serious attention to violent incidents—a demand for which the responsibility is attributed to the security agencies under the Taliban administration.
