A mother in Faisalabad axed two of her children to death on Sunday morning following a dispute with her husband.
The children, 6-year-old Mafia and 4-year-old Mubasshar, were killed in their house near Dijkot Police Station in Faisalabad.
According to Dijkot station house officer (SHO), the accused, Parveen, killed her children after being domestically abused by her husband. “Parveen developed differences with her husband; he abused her and dubbed their children as bastards,” he said.
Reports suggest that Parveen got angry after a rift with her husband, after which she hit both of her children with an axe, killing them on the spot. Parveen fled the scene right after.
Police arrived at the scene right after the incident occurred and took both bodies into custody and dispatched them to a mortuary for postmortem. “The police have not received any formal complaint of the incident. Therefore, no case was registered and the accused has not been arrested,” the SHO said.
