Woman found dead

An elderly woman was found strangled to death at her Mowach Goth house under mysterious circumstances.

According to the family of the victim, 72-year-old Munni Begum was suffering mental health issues and had ended her own life. The victim’s husband, Hassan, had passed away 20 years ago.

However, Mochko police SHO Babar Hameed said they would be investigating all possible aspects as it was highly unlikely that the elderly woman had strangled herself.
