Eight-Month Pregnant Woman Killed over ‘Honor’
KARACHI: An eight-month pregnant woman, 26-year-old Fahima, was allegedly killed by her family in the name of honour on Wednesday. This is the first such incident in the current year. According to the victim’s husband Gul Zamin, the couple had got married against their families’ wishes and eloped from Swabi to Karachi, where they had been hiding for the last six or seven years in fear of their lives. According to details, Zamin’s wife and their five-year-old daughter were at their rented house in the slums of Mohammadi Colony when the culprits broke into the house and tortured Fahima; they escaped after stabbing her to death. According to Zamin, the victim’s father and brother - who had arrived in Karachi after a tip-off about Fahima’s presence in the city - were behind the incident. He suspected that the culprits might have returned to their hometown after murdering his wife. According to Docks police station’s Deputy Superintendent of Police Javed Iqbal Bhatti, the accused had attacked the woman’s head and stomach with an axe and a dagger.
