Two men allegedly strangled their widowed mother to death over a property dispute in Faqir Colony, Orangi Town, on Thursday.
Police found the tortured body of 40-year-old Izzat Pari, wife of Mirzada, inside a house near Pershan Chowk and shifted it to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital for medico-legal formalities.
