Published March 10, 2007

LAHORE, March 9: Police registered a case on Friday against a man for allegedly stabbing his mother-in-law and her teenaged adopted daughter to death in Gulshan-i-Ravi.

Police said Saima left her house after differences with her husband, Furqan, a couple of months ago and started living with her parents in Firdos Park, Gulshan-i-Ravi.

Furqan came to know that his wife was not staying with her parents and suspected that his mother-in-law had hidden her somewhere. On Friday, he visited his in-laws and attacked his mother-in-law, Hamidan, and her adopted daughter Sonia, 18, with a knife. They were rushed to hospital where they succumbed to their injuries.

DIES AT LGH: A 14-year-old boy who sustained critical injuries a few days ago died at the Lahore General Hospital on Friday.

Unidentified men had inflicted head injuries on Muhammad Haji outside his residence in Liaqautabad.

SUICIDE: An 18-year-old girl allegedly committed suicide over a domestic issue in Islampura here on Friday.

Neelam took poison when her father reportedly admonished her over a domestic issue. She was taken to hospital where she died.

The body was handed over to the family without autopsy.

FIRE: Garments were reduced to ashes when a fire broke out in a factory of readymade garments in Moon Market, Gulshan-i-Ravi on Friday morning.

Fire brigade reached the spot and controlled the fire after hectic efforts.
