Mother slits throats of three children over custody issue

A callous mother in Karachi allegedly slit the throat of her three children following a custody dispute after her divorce in Defence Housing Authority (DHA) Phase-VI, reported 24NewsHD TV Channel. 

According to police, the victims include two sons and a girl, aged between 4 and 7 years. The incident is linked to a custody dispute following the mother’s divorce in September 2024. 

The children, identified as 7-year-old Zarar, 4-year-old Sania, and another son, visited their mother one or two times a week and were staying with her at the time of the tragedy. The woman has been arrested. The police’s initial reports indicated that the mother used a sharp-edged weapon to kill the children around noon. 

After committing the act, the suspect informed her ex-husband and family members about the incident before notifying the police. When law enforcement officials arrived at the scene, the mother was found with the bodies of her children. 

According to authorities, the suspect appears to be suffering from psychological issues and further investigations were underway.
