Lahore man kills woman for seeking justice for murdered daughter

In the outskirts of Lahore, a man allegedly abducted and murdered a young woman he had been involved with in a personal relationship, and later targeted her mother in retaliation for pursuing legal action against him.

The key suspect, Yousaf, had been in contact with a woman named Naureen, according to the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD).

He allegedly lured her under false pretences and kidnapped her on May 27, 2024, following a disagreement. She was killed by him the same day.

On October 12, 2024, several months after Naureen’s mother, Iqra Bibi, was named as the complainant in the FIR, she too was abducted.

Police officials stated that both murders were premeditated, and the victims’ bodies were later desecrated.

Three suspects, Yousaf, Mansab, and Nasir, have been taken into custody. Weapons used in both crimes were recovered by law enforcement.

Following interrogation, the suspects confessed to dismembering the victims’ bodies and disposing of the remains in a nearby canal.
