Karak Incident: Woman Murders Children and Commits Suicide

Karak Incident

In the remote village of Monakhel in Karak, a deeply tragic incident unfolded as a woman took the lives of her own children before turning the gun on herself. This devastating event has left the local community in shock and mourning.

According to a police spokesperson, the tragic act appears to be linked to a domestic dispute. The situation escalated to a point where the woman felt driven to commit such a heinous act.

However, the situation has become more complex as the deceased woman’s family has accused her in-laws of involvement in the crime. They claim that their sister and nephews were murdered, rather than the woman acting alone.

The First Information Report (FIR) has named the woman’s father-in-law and brother-in-law as suspects in this grim case. Her husband was not present at home at the time of the incident and is not included in the FIR.

Following the registration of the FIR, the father-in-law and brother-in-law have fled the scene, prompting the police to launch a manhunt to apprehend them.

Authorities are conducting raids to locate and detain the suspects, and the investigation continues to unravel the true circumstances surrounding this tragic event.

In light of such incidents, it is crucial to address the issue of self-harm and mental health with sensitivity and urgency.
