A man’s body with a slit throat was recovered from a house in Din Muhammad Goth, Manghopir area in Karachi, in what police say was a brutal family dispute that turned deadly.

 

According to reports citing police, the victim’s second wife, her former husband, and her son and daughter are allegedly involved in the murder.

 

Crime Scene Unit officials collected evidence for investigation of the case while the body of 40-year-old Muhammad Ayub Lashari was shifted to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital for legal formalities.

 

SHO Manghopir Imran Khan said the victim had been living with his biological brother and had married his brother’s mother-in-law as his second wife. Her son was also reportedly living in the same house.

 

On July 12, the victim’s brother had left for his village to drop off Ayub's first wife. When he returned, he found his brother’s throat-slit body inside the house, while his own wife, his brother’s second wife and her family members were missing.

 

According to the SHO, the suspects include the victim’s second wife, Lal Deeni; her ex-husband, Gul Muhammad; her son, Rabeel; and her daughter, Zahida, who is also married to the victim’s brother.

 

Police found a wooden stick and pieces of a mirror used to slit the victim’s throat at the scene. They have reportedly collected all evidence and are tracking to arrest the suspects involved in the gruesome murder.
