KARACHI, May 25: A woman allegedly killed her husband with the help of two accomplices in a Korangi locality on Tuesday morning. Two persons were about to shift a body from a house in Zia Colony, early in the morning to dispose it of, when area people spotted them and became suspicious. They caught one of the suspects, identified as Akbar, while his accomplice fled.
