Police Register Murder Case in Karachi Homicide
Karachi police registered a murder case under Section 302 of the Pakistan Penal Code on behalf of the state. Senior Superintendent of Police (East) Zubair Nazir Ahmed Shaikh stated that while Yaseen has regained consciousness, his statement has yet to be recorded due to a lack of cooperation.
Investigators have reportedly gathered initial clues, but details remain undisclosed for strategic reasons, as noted by SSP Shaikh. The grim discovery was initially reported by Muhammad Iqbal, the husband of Samina and father of Yaseen. Both are currently under observation by medical personnel. SindhNews.com reported on the initial findings.
Uncertainty Surrounds Karachi Homicide Timeline
Police Surgeon Dr. Summaiya Syed indicated that Maha’s body showed partial decomposition, suggesting varying times of death among the victims. This detail significantly raises suspicions of foul play, moving beyond natural causes.
Earlier reports from SSP Shaikh had already ruled out environmental factors like gas leaks. The absence of forced entry, strangulation marks, or other external injuries complicates the ongoing investigation into this Karachi homicide.
The incident, which occurred on Sunday, has left the community shaken. Authorities are working diligently to piece together the events leading to this heartbreaking outcome.
