KARACHI, April 26: The dead body of an engineer was found in his apartment in Gulistan-i-Johar on Saturday.
The body of Ali Nawaz Shah, 40, an engineer in a gas company and resident of Rabia City Apartments, was found with stab wounds, police said.
“The victim was repeatedly stabbed”, said a police official and added that the victim’s brother Ali Raza Shah came from Hyderabad and found the body of his brother lying in a pool of blood. He informed the police who reached the spot and shifted the body to the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre for an autopsy.
