ISLAMABAD: A man strangulated his 16-year-old daughter in the Golra suburb of Islamabad because he suspected she was in a relationship with a boy in the neighbourhood. Police said the suspect called them himself a little before noon on Tuesday and was arrested soon afterwards. “The man, a father of six, killed his daughter by choking her and then called 15 to inform police of his crime,” a homicide investigator said. The officer added that trouble had been brewing in the family for the last two to three days over the issue. The body was shifted to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) where the doctors confirmed that the girl was suffocated to death. “There was bruising on her neck and signs of light bleeding on her lips. It seems the girl’s throat was squeezed, which led to her death,” a doctor said. Doctors also collected samples from the girl’s stomach, liver and spleen and sent them for a chemical examination to determine the cause of death. The victim’s mother got registered a first information report (FIR) against her husband in the case. Earlier on Monday, a beauty salon owner was stabbed to death, allegedly by her in-laws, who doubted her character. The victim was running a beauty salon in Chungi Amar Sadhu, Lahore.
