LAHORE, Oct 10: The South Cantonment police arrested a woman for killing her second husband with the help of her son and two accomplices after the body of the 36-year-old rickshaw driver was found dumped near Asghari Market on Monday.

The police said Muhammad Fiaz, of Kir Khurd, Bedian Road, was stabbed to death by his wife, Robina, his stepson Aamir, and two others over a domestic dispute on Sunday night.
