KARACHI:

A quiet neighbourhood in Qasim Town was jolted by a gruesome killing when a 35-year-old mother of five was found with her throat slit inside her home on Tuesday.

The victim, identified as Zareen Bibi, was allegedly attacked with a knife by her two brothers-in-law, who fled the scene after the killing.

According to PS Sukhan SHO, the suspects were identified as Naimatullah and Ghulamullah, who allegedly visited Zareen's house and attacked her with a sharp-edged weapon before escaping. The motive behind the killing has not yet been established. However, police said preliminary investigation suggested that a domestic dispute may have led to the fatal attack.
