Pakistan deports 3 suspects to UK

Three men were returned to the UK from Pakistan this morning to face questioning about the murder of Scottish school boy Kriss Donald.

The men have been wanted in connection with the murder since the offence occurred in March 2004, but without a formal extradition treaty the Pakistani authorities were unable to return them to the UK.

Speaking on the extradition, the British high commissioner said, "The murder of Kriss Donald was a vicious crime against an innocent 15-year-old boy that caused revulsion throughout the UK. The search for justice in this case continues, but I'm pleased to be able to say today that we have moved that process on considerably with the return of 3 suspects.
