A woman and her paramour were booked on Tuesday for allegedly poisoning to death her husband in the city around 10 months ago.
Reportedly, the woman, who was allegedly caught with her paramour 10 months ago, staged a suicide drama to cover up the crime.
Around 10 months after the postmortem report revealed the fact, Nishatabad police registered a case against the four suspects, including the victim’s wife and her paramour. Police also arrested the woman and started interrogation. According to the police report, Abdul Majeed, a resident of 7GB, Panjwar Nawaz Town, had taken a stand in the case registered at Nishatabad police station that on June 4 last year, his nephew Mohammad Adeel, the son of Dilawar Hussain called him and claimed Ramzan Ahmed was not feeling well. By the time Abdul Majeed reached his brother Ramzan’s home, he had died.
A day prior to the incident, there was a fight between the couple over monetary transactions. Sakina allegedly gave poison to the complainant’s brother. Nishatabad police registered a case regarding his alleged murder and conducted postmortem. Faisalabad Medical University APMO Dr Muhammad Shafiq sent the body to Punjab Forensic Science Agency.
According to the post-mortem report, the complainant’s brother Ramzan died while consuming poison, which proved the murder.
Investigating Officer Sub Inspector Amin Wattoo arrested Sakina. During police interrogation, the suspected murderer confessed that her paramour Sharafat had brought the poison to her. Sharafat allegedly convinced Sakina to poison her husband. Reportedly, Sakina then poisoned Ramzan to death and staged a suicide situation to cover up her crime.
The suspect also confessed that she killed Ramzan for fear of being exposed after her husband caught her and Sharafat in an objectionable condition.
