Lytton Road police on Wednesday caught a man and his son while burying the dead body of his 16-year-old daughter, who was strangled to death by her brother in the name of honour. The deceased was identified as Tanzeem Fatima, a resident of Islamia Park located in the Lytton Road area. Sources said some locals had informed the police that Tufail and his son Javed were burying their daughter in a local graveyard after killing her.
Police said Javed had confessed his crime in police custody, and told that on Wednesday Tanzeem was trying to go out of the house and they clashed when he tried to stop her during which she was strangled to death. According to police, Javed said that his sister had escaped from the house a couple of months ago, but returned later. He said Tanzeem’s habit of escaping from her house had brought embarrassment to the family, police said, adding that Javed further told that after killing his sister, he convinced his father to bury Tanzeem’s body secretly in the local graveyard.
