KARACHI: A free-will marriage couple who had married six years ago were found brutally murdered along with their minor son at their home in Karachi’s Ghaghar Phatak area on Wednesday.
According to police, the victims — identified as Abdul Majeed, his wife Sakina, and their son Abdul Nabi — were killed with sharp-edged weapons. Two axes were recovered from the crime scene.
Police say the couple originally hailed from Balochistan and had married of their own free will six years ago. Preliminary investigations suggest the assailants had visited the family as guests a day earlier before committing the murders and fleeing the scene.
Sindh Home Minister Zia-Ul-Hassan Lanjar has taken notice of the incident and ordered an immediate inquiry. He directed police to arrest the culprits without delay and submit a detailed report. He also stressed the need to ensure law and order in the area.
