Police arrests a serial lady-killer in Karachi

In quite a bravo effort, Police on Tuesday apprehended a serial killer along with an accomplice of women, who was allegedly behind the brutal murders of three women.

According to the police, the alleged killer, who was arrested by Jamshed Quarter Police from the Soldier Bazar, is identified as Muhammad Rafiq, a resident of Sukkur.

Reportedly, he had picked women from near the Quaid-e-Azam mausoleum, taken them to his residence to kill them and discerped their corpses.

The parts of the bodies were found from different localities of the city including Soldier Bazaar and Guru Mandar. One of the victims, whose body parts were found in the Guru Mandar area, has been identified as Nasreen, the wife of Sharif, a mother of four and resident of Quaidabad.

On March 10, Nasreen’s body was recovered near the Guru Mandar area and the police was said to have closed the file.

On April 10, 11 and 12 when more female body parts were found around the city, the police were forced to revisit the case and PPP representative Faryal Talpur took personal notice of the incidents, directing IG Sindh to make arrangements to arrest the offender immediately and find out the identity of the second victim.

The law-enforcement agencies had interrogated a rickshaw driver who had disclosed that he had dropped a woman to the Patel Para area after picking her up from the mausoleum. The driver had led the police to Rafiq’s house, who was apprehended.

Rafiq had initially denied any involvement in the incidents but had later admitted he had murdered three women and had also served time in prison earlier for the murder of another woman. Police also found tools that Rafiq had used to cut down the victims after he killed them.

Inspector General (IG) East Tahir Navaid said that there was no clear reason as to why the murderer had carried out the acts, but attributed them to mental instability.
