An official of the AVCC said that Haji Juma Khan, resident of Naushero Feroze, was employed in Saudi Arabia.

He told her that he had come to Karachi to buy a car, the police added.

He stayed at her home in Baghdadi. Later she took him to a house in Hijrat Colony where three suspects, Saifullah, Waqas and Amjad Ali, were present.

The three suspects overpowered him and tied him up with ropes and killed him and chopped off his body into pieces to dispose of it easily.

But they faced disappointment when they found that the victim was carrying only Rs60,000, the police said.
