KARACHI, March 20: A woman killed her two infant daughters in Landhi on Monday evening. SHO of Landhi police station told Dawn that Nadia, 30, wife of ASI Mohammad Aslam killed her two daughters by throttling them. ASI Aslam is away on police commando training course.
Nadia who killed Ramsha, two, and Alja, eight months, later informed the police about the incident. The woman has been arrested by the police.
