LAHORE: The son of late Saira Naseer, a Pakistan Muslim League-Functional (PML-F) leader, has confessed that he killed her mother and set her dead body alight, police claimed on Thursday.
On December 7, police found the charred remains of Saira who was in her burnt car.
Earlier today, Police arrested her son Fawad in connection with the murder case.
Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Hyderabad Pir Mohammad Shah told the media that Fawad was used to engage in brawling with his mother.
A heated argument took place between Saira and her son on the night she was killed.
“The mother and son argued at 11 PM, after which Fahad went to the kitchen and brought an iron rod and hit his mother on the head with it,” SPP Shah said.
He added that Fawad did not originally intend to kill his mother but it was more like he acted upon impulse.
“After Saira breathed last, he [her son] took her body to her car and set it alight,” said the SSP.
He said police detained Fawad after finding “incriminating evidence” against him.
SSP Shah further said that the case was challenging as police had to interrogate hundreds of people to get the truth out.
