KARACHI: A young woman and minor girl were found murdered in Korangi on Wednesday, police and rescuers said.

They added that the bodies of the 30-year-old woman and five-year-old girl were recovered from a garbage dump on Korangi Causeway.

The bodies were shifted to the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre to fulfill medico-legal formalities.

Police Surgeon Summaiya Syed said that there were “multiple incised wounds and fractured skulls, which led to their death”. She added that all swabs had been collected for serology and DNA tests.

Korangi Industrial Area SHO Khalid Memon said their identity could not be ascertained till late in the night.

It appeared that someone killed them by hitting on their heads with some hard and blunt instrument and later threw the bodies on the garbage dump early on Wednesday morning, he added.
