In a harrowing incident in the Girja Road area of Rawalpindi, unidentified brutal suspects mercilessly killed two women inside a house.
The incident occurred within the jurisdiction of Dhamial Police Station, where the suspects murdered the women by striking them with heavy iron tools.
The deceased women have been identified as 36-year-old Louiza Bibi and 24-year-old Namiya Bibi (Naumeen Bibi).
Upon receiving information about the incident, CPO Rawalpindi Hasan Mushtaq Sukhera, along with the SSP Operations and a heavy contingent of police, rushed immediately to the scene.
Police and forensic teams gathered crucial evidence from the scene and shifted both bodies to the District Headquarters Hospital for post-mortem, after which the bodies were handed over to the heirs for burial.
Police officials told Voice PK that the Inspector General (IG) Punjab took strict notice of the incident, sought a report from CPO Rawalpindi, and issued directives to form special teams and take action for the arrest of the suspects.
Police officials stated that initially it appears one woman was strangled to death, while the other woman was killed by hitting her head with an iron rod.
Whereas the actual motives behind the murder will come to light only after the post-mortem report and forensic report, the police added further that a case has been registered against unknown persons and no arrest has been made so far.
