Police have launched an investigation after two elderly people were found dead at a house near Bibi Aamna Park in North Karachi raising fresh concerns following another recent incident involving multiple deaths at a residence in the city.
According to police officials, the bodies of a man and a woman were discovered within the jurisdiction of Sir Syed Police Station. Authorities said both victims appeared to be between 65 and 70 years old and had reportedly moved back to Pakistan from Canada some time ago.
The deceased were identified as Muhammad Yamin and Nafisa. Rescue officials said the bodies showed signs of injuries to the neck consistent with the use of a sharp-edged object. Police are collecting evidence from the scene as part of their investigation.
Authorities have not announced a confirmed motive or publicly established who was responsible. Investigators are expected to examine the available evidence to determine the circumstances surrounding the deaths.
The incident comes a day after five members of a family were found dead at a house in a private housing society in Karachi’s Gulshan-e-Hadeed area.
The victims in that case were identified as 30-year-old Shahzaib his 28-year-old wife Saba, their 20-year-old daughter Shamaila, and their two younger daughters, five-year-old Aizel and three-year-old Arya.
According to Malir Senior Superintendent of Police Dr Abdul Khaliq Pirzada, investigators recovered a pistol from the scene and a written note from Shahzaib’s pocket.
Police said their preliminary investigation suggested that financial difficulties might have played a role in the earlier incident. Investigators reportedly suspected that the children had been poisoned before the subsequent death, but the circumstances remain subject to investigation.
The two incidents are separate, and no connection between them has been established in the information provided.
