Man kills wife for meeting ex-husband

Police claimed to have arrested a man for allegedly killing his wife at their home in Surjani Town’s Sector L/1 on Friday.

The body of 26-year-old Laraib, wife of Zulfiqar, was transported to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital for an autopsy. While sharing the findings of the initial investigation, the Surjani Town police said Zulfiqar was Laraib’s second husband, and he strangled her after he found her first husband at their house. The police said the suspect tried to change the nature of the incident by saying that his wife was killed over offering resistance during a house robbery bid. The investigation is continuing.
