SAHIWAL: A disabled woman was burned alive at her home in Farid Ganj late on Sunday. A bullet wound in her head was also found, according to city police, but only a postmortem examination would reveal if Anwar Bibi was shot before or after she was burned.
The police declared it a targeted killing, but the motive has yet to be determined. On the complaint of her brother Muhammad Riaz, police launched a murder investigation against unknown individuals.
When neighbours discovered the house on fire and called Rescue 1122; the woman with hearing and speech impairments was alone at home. The body was taken to the Sahiwal Teaching Hospital for an autopsy by police.
