Killed by wife, man’s body dugout in Ghazni

GHAZNI CITY (Pajhwok): A woman has killed her husband and buried his body inside their house in southern Ghazni province, an official said on Thursday.

Police dug out the man’s body on Thursday inside the house on the outskirts of Ghazni City, the provincial capital.

Abdul Rashid Abid, the provincial attorney, told Pajhwok Afghan News a sister of the slain individual had registered a complaint with police few days ago, saying her brother had been missing for the last three months.

After investigations, police found that Murad had been killed by her wife with the help of her brother-in-law due to a family dispute and his corpse was buried inside the house.

Provincial crime branch police chief Abdul Qahar said police had arrested the wife of Murad. He said the woman was yet to reveal the motive behind the killing.

Basira, the sister of Murad, said the couple used to fight on a daily basis and the wife had been demanding divorce, but her brother would deny it.
