GUJRAT: A man bludgeoned to death one of the two rapists of his wife at their house at Koocha Bandi and buried him at a deserted place near Haryiewala Chowk along GT Road bypass.

Ehsan Ghaus appeared before the Gujrat acting district police officer, Kamran Mumtaz, with a handwritten application seeking registration of rape case against the suspects. The application also carried the statement of confession by him that he killed one of them by hitting his head with a brick.

In his statement, Ehsan said he, along with his family, was residing at the house of ‘I’ as tenant for the last seven months and as soon as he left the house for his shop a few days ago, the landlord and his accomplice raped his wife.

He said on return his wife narrated her ordeal to him and he decided to kill both the men after vacating the rented house and sending his wife and children to his in-laws.

He said he asked ‘I’ to accompany him to his shop and then took him to some deserted place where he bludgeoned him to death following a clash.

Ehsan told police that after killing the suspect he revealed the entire story to his father with further planning to kill the other alleged perpetrator but his father forbade him from doing so and asked him to court his arrest.

The Saddar police arrested Ehsan in the DPO office and took him to the crime scene and exhumed the body of the slain. Police sent the body to Aziz Bhatti Shaheed Hospital for autopsy.

The acting DPO told Dawn that police would investigate both the matters and a case would also be registered against the alleged rapists.
