A man killed his wife over a domestic dispute in the New Karachi neighbourhood on Thursday. In another incident, a father of four was shot dead in the outskirts of the city.

A woman was allegedly killed by her husband at their home located near Talha Masjid in Sector 5-J, which falls in the limits of the Bilal Colony police station. After receiving information, police and rescue workers reached the house and took the casualty to the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital, where the deceased was identified as 28-year-old Anum.

Citing the initial investigation, police claimed that the woman’s husband was behind the incident. SHO Aftab Abbasi said the victim had married a man named Dilawar some seven to eight years ago, adding that the man was unemployed, which often caused fights between the couple.

The officer said the man hit his wife’s head with a heavy object during a dispute, killing her on the spot, adding that the suspect escaped following the incident. Police have registered a case and are conducting further investigation.
