Foul smell leads to discovery of two bodies in Karachi's Clifton

Both victims found semi-naked; police suspect suffocation, wait for post-mortem findings

Foul smell leads to discovery of two bodies in Karachi's Clifton

A foul odor prompted the discovery of two bodies hidden inside a car parked at a garage in Karachi's Clifton area, Clifton Police Station SHO Rashid Ali said. Police suspect the victims may have died from suffocation, as they appeared to have been deceased for one to two days. The bodies were found after residents alerted authorities to the smell coming from the garage.

One of the deceased was identified as 34-year-old Asadullah, a driver for an elderly resident. The second victim, believed to be between 20 and 22 years old, could not be immediately identified due to their semi-naked state. Both victims were discovered in the rear and driver's seats, respectively. Police collected evidence from the vehicle and have sent the bodies to Jinnah Hospital for further examination.

The initial investigation pointed to suffocation as the cause of death, but the final determination would be made after the post-mortem.
