KARACHI, July 9: A young man was killed by his father-in-law over some monetary dispute in Mochko on Friday. Police said Naimat Khan, 55, stabbed his son-in-law Aslam Sherazi in Gulshan-i-Ghazi Block-A. Naimat fled the house after the attack, police said.

Aslam was taken to a nearby private hospital by his neighbours, where he was pronounced dead. Later, his body was removed to the Civil Hospital for autopsy. Police said Aslam had borrowed Rs500 from his father-in-law some time back, but failed to return the amount. On Friday, both the men exchanged hot words. Subsequently, Naimat stabbed Aslam and escaped. Police are looking for the suspect.

KILLED: A decomposed body stuffed in a suitcase was found from a derilect place, off Super Highway on Friday. Police said the body was found several kilometres off the Toll Plaza. The body was at least 25 days old, and the police shifted the body to the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre for postmortem examination.
