PESHAWAR, July 17: Decomposed bodies of two young women were found in a house in Afghan Colony, while two persons were killed in separate incidents in city’s suburb on Sunday, residents and police officials said.

On Sunday morning, a group of residents of Afghan Colony informed Faqirabad police about the foul smell coming out of a house in street No-12.

Policemen climbed a wall of the house as the main door was locked and found the decomposed bodies of Zar Bibi, lady health visitor at Hamida Mufti Clinic in Lahori Gate, and her assistant Dur Marja aged between 35 and 36.

Police officials said that the women were apparently tortured to death about eight days ago and the actual cause would be determined after post-mortem.

The police have sent the bodies to the mortuary in Khyber Medical College.

Marjan, the owner of the house, told police that he had given his house on rent. He denied having any acquaintance with the deceased, he told police that he had given the keys of his house to a local property dealer who must be knowing the women. So far, the police had not arrested the property dealer.
