One of the alleged
suspects had proposed to the girl, Gaiseena, through her family last
year, but she had rejected him, said Amanuddin Quraishi, chief of Imam
Sahib district.
The two men allegedly
attacked and killed her on Monday about a hundred meters from her house,
while she was bringing water for her family, he said.
Quraishi, the top person at the local level, could not confirm whether the suspects were relatives.
Kunduz is the same
province where four Afghan Local Police (ALP) officers this month were
sentenced -- two of them for 16 years -- for raping a woman.
The Interior Ministry
controls ALP, a separate entity from the Afghan National Police that
critics liken to an unchecked armed militia.
In that case, the
18-year-old's mother said rape had brought shame upon the family and
that without government help, her daughter should be killed.
