A horrific incident of a twin murder was reported in Karachi’s Machar Colony, where a quack killed two minor brothers in pursuit of ransom from their father.

The alleged murderer, identified as Abdul Kareem, lured the two brothers, Ahmed, 10, and Hassan, 8, with parrots as he knew that they were fond of birds. The police investigation says that he gave them a high dose of anaesthesia mixed with food, which caused their death.

ARY News reported that the boys had been at Kareem’s clinic since morning, and when their sister went to find them, the quack informed her that the children left already. Kareem stuffed the bodies in a cupboard and also pretended to search for them with their father.
