One held as mystery of head-less body's recovery in Karachi resolved

Police say the deceased was identified with the help of finger prints

KARACHI: The police on Saturday claimed to have solved the mystery of the body found in the bushes of Surjani Town area on Thursday, with its head cut off.

The deceased was identified with the help of finger prints, said the police.

During investigation, the deceased Farhan’s friend Zubair admitted that both of them were living in a rented room and Zubair had kept his life savings worth 50,000 rupees as trust with Farhan.

However, when he demanded his money back, Farhan kept making excuses. On December 26, both the friends had an altercation just before they went to sleep.



In the middle of the night at around 3 am, Zubair woke up and killed Farhan by hitting him with brick and then cut his head off with a knife. He put the dead body in a box and transported it in a rickshaw to nearby bushes. He later fled the scene.

The SSP West Shaukat Ali Kathiyan in a press conference at his office also claimed that the suspect involved in the murder of father and son last week while resisting a robbery bid has been arrested.

The suspect has been identified as Maroof Solangi who heads a 4-member dacoit gang and is said to be involved in many robbery incidents. Raids are being carried out to apprehend the remaining three members of the gang.
