Karachi in shock after two murdered and dismembered

Grisly discoveries spark probe into motives behind brutal murders

KARACHI:

Two separate murder cases have shocked the city, with dismembered bodies being found in different areas.

Gulistan-e-Jauhar police have solved the mystery of a human head found near a garbage dump in Pehlwan Goth. According to police, the victim was identified as 32-year-old truck driver Imdad Hussain. His torso was later recovered from the house of one of the suspects in Mughal Hazara Goth. Investigators revealed that the two arrested suspects, Mudassir and Ali, were close friends and neighbours of the deceased.

Police said both the suspects and the victim were drug addicts and often consumed crystal meth (ice) together. On the day of the crime, the suspects invited Imdad to their home under the pretext of drug use, where they brutally killed him. They dumped his severed head in a garbage site in Pehlwan Goth while keeping the torso hidden in Ali's house.

SP Investigation East confirmed that the suspects have confessed to the murder but failed to provide a satisfactory motive. Further interrogation is underway. The case has been registered at Gulistan-e-Jauhar police station on the complaint of the victim's father, who had also nominated his daughter-in-law, former daughter-in-law, and three others in his FIR.

In another incident, a severed human head found near a drain in Hyderi was later matched with a torso discovered a day earlier from a drain in North Nazimabad's Block L. Police said the victim, identified as 35-year-old Muhammad Yousuf, worked at a tandoor (clay oven shop) and had recently moved to Karachi from Mansehra. His brother, Jannat Gul, confirmed the identification.

Reportedly, Yousuf had been living in shared quarters with four others in North Nazimabad. Authorities are now investigating his background and questioning relatives for leads.Police sources confirmed that in both cases, the killers attempted to cover up their crimes by discarding the body parts at different locations.
