The Greek police have arrested eight migrants on suspicion of murdering a 29-year-old Pakistani migrant who was trying to leave the country illegally.
The police said on Friday that the eight were suspected of involvement in the July 23 stabbing death of a Pakistani man who had been with three compatriots heading toward Greece’s northern border with Macedonia.
The four men were allegedly robbed near the border, with the 29-year-old being stabbed in the process, the police reported.
The deceased’s body was discovered the following day near a railway track.
Out of the eight arrested suspects, six are said to be of Afghan origin, while the other two are Pakistanis.
In February this year, 11 Pakistanis were found dead after a boat carrying migrants capsized off the Libyan coast.
