RAWALPINDI, Jul 10 (APP): Police have solved the murder of an elderly woman, arresting her granddaughter and the granddaughter’s husband for allegedly killing her and attempting to conceal the crime by making the death appear as natural.
According to police, the suspects allegedly murdered the elderly woman several days ago and initially tried to make the death as natural.
However, visible marks of violence on the victim’s body prompted authorities to order a post-mortem examination and initiate legal proceedings.
Police said the post-mortem report indicated foul play, leading investigators to register a case and question the victim’s granddaughter and her husband.
During the investigation, the suspects allegedly confessed to the murder.
According to investigators, the couple strangled the victim with a rope over a small amount of money before stealing her gold jewellery, which they later sold.
Superintendent of Police (SP) Potohar, Sardar Babar Mumtaz Khan commended Civil Lines police team and said that regardless of how cunning offenders may be, they cannot escape the law and will be brought to justice.
