ISLAMABAD: Two members of an Ahmadi family were found murdered in their house in the capital city on Saturday.

However, the motive behind the killings is yet to be ascertained.

The CDA official was residing with his first wife at G-7.

Bushra, 50, and her son Mubashir, 27, were found murdered by Mujahid, the second son of the woman, after he returned from Lahore on Saturday.

Later, the police were informed who shifted the bodies to hospital.

The police said Mujahid, who worked with a mobile company, had last talked to his mother from Lahore where he had gone to bring her wife.

When Mujahid came back at around 2:30am on Saturday, he got no response from inside the house despite ringing the doorbell several times.

Later, he broke into the house and found her mother dead in her bedroom.Mujahid told the police: “I found my mother in a pool of blood with her hands and legs tied with ropes.”

Later, he also found his brother murdered in another room.

The police said Bushra was stabbed twice while Mubashir, a lecturer at a university, had nine stab wounds.

During the preliminarily investigation, the possibility of forced entry into the house and robbery was ruled out as no such signs were found, the police said. Cash and gold ornaments, including those worn by the woman, were found intact.

“It seems that there was a welcome entry given by the family to some acquaintances,” the police said, adding the inspection of the house showed six to seven people had come to the house.

The police said seven glasses, bottles of soft drinks and fruits were found on a table.” It seems that some people either overpowered the woman and her son or intoxicated them before tabbing them, the police said.

Nine stab wounds were found on the body of Mujahid, showing the rage of the killers.

After killing the two, the killers left the house by locking its doors. The doors had push-button locks that can easily be locked from both sides.

The police stated that the deputy director had married two women in 1988 and used to stay with them alternately. On the day of the incident, he was with his first wife.

It is yet to be established if the killings had any religious connection, enmity or dispute, the police said, adding an investigation was in progress to ascertain the reason behind the killings.

The police said they were investing the murders on different lines, including questioning the family friends especially those who had been in contact with the family last.

The police said they had also picked 10 suspects based on the list of telephone calls the woman and her son had made.
