Two men found dead in Landhi schools

Two men were found dead -- one in a private school and the other in a government school – in a Landhi neighbourhood on Saturday.

Residents called the police after they discovered the decomposing corpse of a 40-year-old man at a government school in Sector V of Landhi’s 36-B area. 

SHO Rehmatullah Jan of the Landhi Police Station said the body was taken to the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC) for a medico-legal examination.

The deceased was identified as Yousuf, son of Umar Din. He was said to have been missing for the past 10 days. 

The SHO said the cause of death would be confirmed after the arrival of the postmortem examination report.

Police handed over the deceased to his heirs and started an investigation.

Separately, the remains of a 55-yera-old man, who had been slaughtered to death, were found at a private school in Landhi’s 36-B locality.

SHO Jan said children were playing cricket in the street when the ball fell inside the school. When the children entered the premises to collect the ball, they spotted the body.

A police team soon arrived and carried the dead to the JPMC for a postmortem examination. The victim was identified as Shafi Ahmed, son of Abdul Majeed.

The police officer said the initial postmortem report confirmed that the man had been slaughtered with a sharp-edged object. He added that the victim was a guard of the school, where he was found dead, and lived in Street No. 24 of same area.
