Brutal murder by second wife, body chopped into pieces
Savage wife kept her husband's corpse hidden for 22 hours in Karachi.
Karachi: A 60-year-old man, Islam, was brutally murdered by his second wife, who heartlessly dismembered his body into pieces. The lifeless remains were hidden for an excruciating 22 hours in Karachi.
Islam, residing in Karachi's Liaquatabad area, was killed by his second wife due to domestic disputes.
After chopping the body into pieces with the intent to conceal it, the callous wife even tried to dissolve the remains in acid.
According to Islam's family, the murder occurred on Friday, and they found his body on Sunday night. During this period, the murderer, his second wife, attempted various methods to hide the corpse.
Islam's family revealed that the murderer carried out her daily routines as usual, pretending to be innocent, so as not to raise any suspicion about her cruel act.
To avoid suspicion, she sent the children to school and even treated them to ice cream upon their return.
According to family sources, the victim's second wife was the mother of his three daughters, while he had eleven children from his first wife.
While maintaining her everyday facade, the murderer constantly experimented with different methods to hide the corpse and after 22 hours of relentless efforts, she fled with the daughters.
Upon suspicion of the murderer's actions, the family began to search for Islam and eventually discovered the fragments of his body in acid.
They immediately informed the police, who initiated an investigation and are now searching for the fugitive.
Initially, the police found some evidence indicating that the murderer drugged Islam and rendered him unconscious before mercilessly ending his life, as the incident involved traces of injections and syringes.
The police arrested the victim's brother to gain access to more information and locate the murderer.
However, the police are yet to apprehend the fugitive, as the investigation is still ongoing.
