KARACHI:

The Sahil police have apprehended the woman who killed her husband with the assistance of a male accomplice at her flat in Emaar Tower, DHA.

Lady SHO of Sahil police station, Tasneem Iqbal, stated that the murder occurred in a flat at Emaar Tower on March 4, with the body of Jahanzeb Malik, alias Zebi, discovered with gunshot wounds to the head. Upon arrival at the scene, the police promptly summoned the crime scene unit and gathered evidence.

Additionally, the call detail records (CDR) of the deceased's wife, Shireen, were obtained, revealing her frequent contact with Osama Saifullah.

Further investigation revealed that Osama worked as a security guard at a private hospital in Clifton and was romantically involved with Shireen, who often visited him at the hospital.

Subsequently, the police visited Osama's residence in Sultanabad, but he was found to be absconding since the day of the murder. Upon discovering that the CDR locations of both suspects were converging, Sahil police shared this information with the investigation team, leading to the timely arrest of Shireen and Osama. The suspects are currently under further investigation.

SSP South Sajid Amir Saduzai has announced appreciation and cash rewards for SHO Sahil and her team.

It is noteworthy that Jahanzeb's body was found in his flat at Emaar Tower, with his wife seen driving his car away from the building shortly after the incident. The deceased's vehicle was later found abandoned in Sukkur, raising suspicions that Shireen and her accomplice may have fled to Punjab by bus.
