The bodies of three Afghan nationals killed by Pakistani men in Italy have been returned to Afghanistan, local media reported. According to the Taliban Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation, the remains arrived in Kabul on July 27 and 28 and were later delivered to the families of the victims in Balkh, Kabul and Parwan provinces, Khamaa Press reported.

In June, two Pakistani nationals were arrested on suspicion of the murder of four migrants -- three of them confirmed as Afghans -- who were burnt alive in Amendolara town of Italy's Calabria region. A survivor from the fire incident told a local journalist that Pakistani men threw gasoline and fire into their car when they refused to pay.
