SHEIKHUPURA, March 18: Two women were slaughtered with sharp-edged weapons on Thursday by some unidentified men in city's Y Block Housing Colony. According to DPO Nawaz Warraich
, some unknown armed men entered the house by scaling its boundary wall and slaughtered Kausar Manzoor and her niece Fayza (20) and escaped.
Later in the day, a woman from their neighbour went to see the two women, but she found their bodies in a pool of blood instead. The DPO said that on her revelation, the area people gathered there and reported the matter to police immediately.
Deceased Kausar was the wife of one Manzoor, a sub-engineer in Rawat near Rawalpindi. The police said that it was premature to say that the gory incident was the outcome of resistance during dacoity or an old enmity.
Sources said that Fayza, who lived in Noushera Virkan, was pregnant and had come to her aunt's for abortion. In Naushera, she had alleged relations with a youth.
Somehow Aslam and other brothers of Fayza came to know about the cause of sending her to Sheikhupura. They came to Sheikhupura only to slaughter their sister, but on resistance they also slaughtered Kausar. Sadar police are going into the matter.
