Woman kills co-wife, dies by suicide in KP's Charsadda

CHARSADDA: A woman named Jamila brutally killed her co-wife Taj Begum in their shared home, before ultimately taking her own life, according to police reports released on Wednesday. The tragic event unfolded in the Shabqadar area, specifically in the Daryab Korona locality. The two women were once married to Noor Taj, who resides in Saudi Arabia for employment purposes.

Initial police accounts indicate that the two women had a domestic disagreement over a familial matter. During the altercation, Jamila allegedly dispatched Begum with an axe. In a heart-wrenching turn of events, Jamila subsequently leaped into a well situated within the house. The family has expressed no desire to pursue legal proceedings regarding the incident.

Police have launched an inquiry under Section 174 of the Code of Criminal Procedure to investigate the circumstances surrounding the double homicide.

In a separate, unrelated case, a man named Rab Nawaz, who had been missing for several days, was discovered deceased near his residence in the Garhi Kakakhel area. Identified as a resident of Peshawar presently living in Rajjar town’s Godam Korona area, Rab Nawaz's widow, Salma, informed the police that her husband had left their home a few days prior but never returned.

Ejaz, a resident of Shah Dhand in Peshawar, was nominated by Salma as the suspect due to an old feud. Police registered a case under Section 302 of the Pakistan Penal Code and are actively seeking the suspect to unravel the details surrounding the murder.
