KARACHI, March 1: A young housewife committed suicide at her house in Orangi Town.

Naureen, aged 21, mother of two, consumed a heavy dose of poison late Friday night and began vomiting. When her condition deteriorated, her husband, Mushtaq, took her to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital where she died.

The police said Naureen was married to Mushtaq some four years back and the couple had been living in Fareed Colony, Orangi. Often she had arguments with her husband, a schoolteacher, on domestic matters.

Mushtaq told the police that there was no apparent reason which led her to take the extreme step as arguments had become a routine in their domestic life.
