The wife did not hear anyone forcefully entering or leaving the house. She heard her husband utter the words, “I don’t have anything,” after which she locked herself in the room and did not come out, and instead called the neighbours who then called the police.
Daughter of the deceased is hopeful that the President Islamic Republic of Pakistan Dr Arif Avi will extend the required assistance in the solving of her father’s murder case.
