KARACHI, Nov 12: A young woman killed her parents in their house in the DHA on Tuesday evening.
Police said Yasmeen, aged 38, was divorced by her husband, Adnan, in 1996. Following divorce, her parents bought an apartment for her near their residence in Sobia Arcade in Phase V, Defence.
On Tuesday morning her mother, Sajada Begum, aged 55, gave her Rs2,200 for an Eid dress.
The TPO Clifton said that, instead of buying a new dress, Yasmeen bought a dagger. Just before Iftar, she came over to her parents house and attacked her father, Abu Nasar Faizee, aged 65, with the dagger. She repeatedly stabbed him in the chest, abdomen and in the legs. She killed her mother in a similar manner.
When she had attacked her father, her sister-in-law and a maidservant, who had locked themselves up in a room, raised alarm at a window opening on the outside. Shopkeepers thought that bandits have entered the house. They informed police on 15. Police arrived at the house and found the elderly couple in a pool of blood.
Police said in the meanwhile Yasmeen tried to flee the scene and also hid the dagger. However, police arrested her and also recovered the weapon.
Police said when Yasmeen was being arrested she told them that she was about to give herself up to police.
According TPO Clifton Munir Shaikh, during initial interrogation, Yasmeen said her parents were instrumental in her divorce. They were also refusing proposals for her second marriage.
Mr Abu Nasar retired as general manager in the PTCL 15 years ago.
