BAHAWALNAGAR: In a chilling incident in Fort Abbas, Bahawalnagar district, a woman, with the assistance of her two sons, murdered her husband and buried his body in the courtyard of their house.
According to police, the victim, Muhammad Iqbal, had been missing for over a month and a half. Suspicion arose when Iqbal’s mother alerted authorities, leading to the discovery of his body buried in the courtyard. The woman and her two sons have been arrested, and an investigation into the murder is underway.
In a separate tragic incident on December 19, a mother brutally killed her two children by slitting their throats in Nawabshah’s Airport Police Station jurisdiction.
The suspect, identified as Komal Sheikh, was taken into custody. During the initial interrogation, Komal confessed to killing her children with a knife in separate rooms. When asked about her motives, she remained silent and refused to provide an explanation.
Police and rescue teams arrived promptly after receiving information about the crime. The children’s bodies were sent to a hospital for post-mortem examinations, and the murder weapon was recovered. Authorities are continuing their investigation.
In another shocking case on November 15, a seven-month-pregnant woman was murdered by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law in Daska.
The victim, Zehra, was allegedly killed in Kotli Marlan village by her in-laws, Sughra Bibi and Yasmeen. According to police, the two dismembered Zehra’s body, packed the remains in bags, and dumped them into a canal to cover up the crime.
To conceal the murder further, the perpetrators severed the victim’s limbs and burned her head to prevent identification. Later that night, Sughra transported the remains to a canal while spreading rumors that Zehra had eloped.
These horrific incidents have sent shockwaves across the country, prompting calls for swift justice for the victims. Investigations in all three cases are ongoing.
