Police in Karachi have arrested a man for the alleged murder of his pregnant wife in Shah Faisal Colony. The victim, identified as Laila, was reportedly three months pregnant at the time of her death.
Family members shared that Laila suffered a stab wound to the neck. Her father recounted a troubling account: Abdullah, her husband, claimed that Laila had accidentally cut her hand.
However, when her father arrived at the hospital, he discovered that she had actually died from a severe neck injury.
Laila’s sister further alleged that she had been a victim of domestic violence at the hands of Abdullah, raising concerns about the couple’s tumultuous relationship. The couple had entered into a love marriage in June 2024 and both worked together at a call center, which may have contributed to their intertwined lives and challenges.
Following the incident, the police registered a case and have initiated an investigation into the circumstances surrounding Laila’s death. A post-mortem examination is pending, which will provide crucial details regarding the exact cause of death and potentially shed light on the events leading up to this tragic incident.
As the investigation continues, authorities are focused on gathering evidence and statements from family members and witnesses. The community is left in shock, grappling with the implications of domestic violence and its tragic consequences.
The case underscores the urgent need for increased awareness and prevention measures surrounding domestic abuse, particularly against women, as law enforcement seeks to bring clarity and justice to this heartbreaking situation.
