KARACHI, Jan 29: Body of a middle-aged woman was found in a gunny bag at an isolated place in Korangi on Saturday, with her head smashed by a blunt weapon.

Some passers by witnessed a suspicious gunny bag lying in the bushes along a dual carriage way in Sector C-17 in the Shah Lateef Town police limits and informed the police.

Area police reached the spot and recovered the body of a woman in her late 30s. The body was shifted to the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, where medico-legal experts said the unidentified killers might have hit the woman's head with a hard and blunt object. The body was kept in the Edhi morgue after completion of legal formalities.

The police remained clueless about the identity of the woman and the motive behind her killing.
