MADINAH: A Madinah court has postponed the case of a Pakistani man who killed three people after promising to sell them visas 18 months ago. The man has admitted the murders in a previous hearing, citing theft as his motive.

Police were alerted after three Pakistani men went missing, two in Ramadan last year and the third a month later. Investigations established two of the victims had contacted the same person before they were killed. Police discovered that the man had left the country on an exit and re-entry visa. They arrested him at the airport when he returned.

Police said the man, identified only as Taj, lured his victims after promising to sell them visas. Then he killed them for their money, dismembered the bodies and tossed them into a dry well. The case will resume next week.
