Woman strangled for ‘honour’

A mother of three children fell victim to a so-called honour killing in the Gulshan-i-Hadeed area on Monday, Steel Town police said.

They added that Ayesha, 40, was strangled by her husband, Mohammed Husain, inside their home in Phase-II. The police arrested the suspect.

During initial probe, the held suspect “confessed” to killing his wife in the name of ‘honour’, said area SHO Shakir Ali. He added that the alleged killer did not show any remorse over murdering his wife.

The body was taken to the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre for a post-mortem examination.
