Bodies of two women found

Published December 3, 2006

MIRPURKHAS, Dec 2: Police found bodies of two sisters, one of them pregnant, in their rented house here on Friday night. The bodies of Farah Naz, 18, and Rukhsana, 25, had bullet marks and police found two bullet shells near them, said City TPO Dhani Bux Mari. Late Farah’s body was lying in the veranda and Rukhsana’s in a room, he added.

He said that police had also found a cellphone near the bodies, which might prove to be of great help in the investigation.

The slain girls’ father Mohammed Qasim Solangi said that late Rukhsana had married with Aurangzeb Leghari of her own free will a year ago who divorced her three months back but she was still living with him in a rented house. Aurangzeb Leghari had since been missing, he said, adding that late Farah was training as a nurse.

Landlady Ms Samina told reporters that she did hear sounds of explosions but she took them for fire crackers and did not pay any attention.

Police moved the bodies to civil hospital for autopsy but did not register an FIR till the story was filed.
