Two wives murdered by husbands

Karachi

Violence against women continues unabated in the city as two more females were brutally murdered by their husbands on Monday.

The first murder was reported in Korangi police limits where 28-year-old Raeesa was strangled to death by her husband, Imran, at their Sector 33/F residence.  

The couple’s three children, police said, raised alarm which led to the on-spot arrest of the murderer, Imran. Officials maintained that the murder was driven by a domestic dispute but further details would emerge as the interrogation progresses. The victim’s body was shifted to the JPMC for legal formalities and a murder case had also been registered.

The other atrocious incident was reported in the
Surjani police’s limits where 20-year-old Rukhsana was killed by her heartless husband, Sagheer, at their Sector 51/G residence. 

In this case, the perpetrator also managed to flee and police were yet to track him down. Investigators said the couple had recently married and that the murder was related to an argument that drastically escalated.

The victim’s body was taken to the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital for a post-mortem examination and a case had been registered with the area police.
