According to Express News, a woman's body was found trapped in a house in Manzoor Colony area of Karachi yesterday. Police arrested her husband and friend involved in the doubt of murder of the woman.
The victim's mother Rabia has stated that her daughter's second marriage was with Shamshad Ahmed three and a half months ago. On Monday, it was reported on the phone that Areeba's health has deteriorated. "When we reached Shamshad's house, my daughter Areeba's body was lying on the bed. There were trap marks on her neck and other parts of her body. I claim that my daughter Areeba was strangled to death in a closed room by my son-in-law and his friend Saeed." Mother said.
SHO Baloch Colony Muhammad Nawaz told Express that when the police reached the spot on the report of suicide, the situation was telling something else. Husband Shamshad Ahmed had neck marks and even when asked, he could not say anything about the marks. While there was not enough distance between the bed and the fan for the victim to commit suicide, the fan was covered in mud and the fan was in good condition, and the duvet from which the trap was told was also clean.
The SHO said that during the search of the house, the police found a trap which strangled the woman. Proven and broken bottles of liquor were also found in the house. The motive of the murder could not be ascertained immediately. It is to be noted that the trapped body of 24-year-old Areeba's wife Shamshad was found living on the third floor of Manzoor Colony 5 Street No. 27C House No. 805 of Baloch Colony Police Station. The incident was initially declared as suicide.
