Two arrested for killing elderly woman

Police have solved the murder of a 75-year-old woman in the Dhok Charagh Din area within the limits of Civil Lines police station, arresting her granddaughter and the latter’s husband for allegedly killing her for money and selling her jewellery.

According to police, in the last week of June, Mohammad Shehzad informed Civil Lines police that he lived with his 75-year-old mother, Zahra Khatoon, in Dhok Charagh Din. When he returned home, he found her dead and initially believed she had died a natural death.

However, while preparing the body for burial, family members noticed injury marks on her body, marks around her neck and a wound on the back of her head, leading them to suspect that she had been murdered.
