Police investigating the murder of a three-year-old girl in Karachi have shared new details from the ongoing inquiry, saying the arrested suspect allegedly cited family dynamics and jealousy as factors during initial questioning. Authorities stress that the investigation is continuing and the allegations remain subject to the legal process.
According to police, the body of three-year-old Kulsoom was found inside a sack near the main gate of her home in Karachi’s Quaidabad area on June 23. The discovery shocked residents and prompted a detailed investigation by law enforcement agencies.
During a press conference, senior police officials announced the arrest of the child’s paternal aunt, Sakina, along with her brother, Nadir, in connection with the case. Investigators said the arrests were made after collecting evidence and conducting inquiries into the incident.
Police stated that during initial questioning, the suspect allegedly said she has two children with special needs and believed they received less attention from family members than Kulsoom. According to investigators, she claimed the young girl was often the focus of affection from relatives, including her grandfather, which allegedly contributed to feelings of resentment. Police presented these remarks as part of the investigation and not as established facts.
Investigators further alleged that the suspect attempted to mislead the investigation by staging aspects of the crime scene to suggest another type of offence. Authorities said forensic evidence and other findings helped investigators pursue a different line of inquiry. Police have not publicly disclosed all evidence, citing the ongoing investigation.
Officials emphasized that the motive and sequence of events will ultimately be determined through the judicial process. The accused will have the opportunity to respond to the allegations in court, and no final conclusions should be drawn until the case is adjudicated.
The killing of the three-year-old has sparked widespread public concern and renewed calls for stronger child protection measures. The case has also highlighted the importance of thorough forensic investigations in ensuring that evidence is examined carefully before charges are proven.
Police say the investigation remains active, with additional forensic reports and witness statements expected to strengthen the case. Authorities have assured the public that every aspect of the incident will be investigated in accordance with the law before the matter proceeds through the courts.
