A woman was killed in Karachi’s Orangi Town after asking tenants for unpaid rent, police said, adding that the husband and wife accused of the murder have been arrested.
According to investigation officials, the woman’s body was recovered from bushes near Hawa Goth in Orangi Town. The deceased was identified as Asma, wife of Mansoor. Asma lived with her husband in a rented house in Orangi Saadhe Gyarah.
