Body of girl killed by in-laws in Tando Jam exhumed

Two bodies found floating in water channels in Jamshoro and Sanghar

HYDERABAD: The body of a murdered young woman was exhumed in Tando Jam on Tuesday, while two other bodies were found floating in water channels in Jamshoro and Sanghar districts.

Ameena Mari, 18, was allegedly killed by her in-laws a few days ago and her body was secretly buried in Tando Jam, a rural area in Hyderabad district.

Worried by her absence, Ameena's family complained to the police on Tuesday and later staged a sit-in on the Hyderabad-Tando Haider road. The police later detained Ameena's father-in-law, Gul Deen Mari, who led the police to the dead body.



According to the Paban SHO, the body was shifted to Civil Hospital, Hyderabad for post-mortem and later handed over to her parents for burial. The police have still not registered an FIR because they are waiting for the version of Ameena's family, the SHO claimed.

"My daughter was subjected to domestic violence every other day," Ameena's father Aslam Mari told the media, adding that his daughter was married to Salam Deen Mari. He claimed that the police were earlier reluctant to take action and were now influencing him to withdraw the case for an out-of-court settlement.

In another incident, the body of an unidentified woman was found floating in the Indus River, within the limits of the Manjhand police station in Jamshoro district. The deceased was apparently shot in the chest before her body was thrown in the river. The female medical officer at the taluka hospital in Manjhand, Sheeba Khan, confirmed that the woman was shot dead. The body was shifted to the Edhi mortuary after the post-mortem.



Separately,  the body of 30-year-old Majnu Khaskheli, who went missing on September 29, was also found floating in a waterway in Jam Nawaz Ali taluka of Sanghar district. According to the Berani police, in whose limits the body was found, Majnu was axed to death. Brother of the deceased Allah Bux Khaskheli said the family was clueless about the cause of the murder because neither the family nor the deceased had any known enemies. The police have yet to lodge an FIR.
