2 booked over UK woman's death
A case has been registered against two men over the death of a British woman of Pakistani origin in Lahore's DHA neighbourhood, it emerged on Tuesday.
Identified as Maira, 25, she was found dead at her rented house in Defence on Monday. She was shot in the head. The deceased woman had arrived from the UK, where her family is settled, some two months back and shared the upper portion of the rented house with a friend, who was living in her adjoining room.
Late on Monday, Defence-B police registered a First Information Report (FIR) against two purported friends of Maira on murder charges on the complaint of the deceased woman's uncle. In his application, Mohammad Nazeer, who is a resident of Lahore, stated that Maira while visiting him a few days ago at his place had informed him that her friends Zahir Jadoon and Saad Ameer Butt were threatening her with "dire consequences".
After she told him that she feared for her life from the two men, Nazeer said he assured her and asked her to let him know if something happened.
