Security of life and possessions is a basic need of citizens of any nation. Governments in Pakistan have a pretty horrendous record on this score.

One would like to think their tragic deaths will not be in vain. That is likely more wishful thinking than anything else.

May Allah(SWT) Shower His Mercy on the departed souls and on their bereaved families.

#11 Posted by tahir,

Yeah ... the gayyyy son had a 'tiff', but never had enough ghairat to leave the home of his parents who sent him to Columbia and to stand on his two feet, but was too pissed off with the elderly and frail ones to check on them for four days when they had lain dead all that time.

Convenient isn't it? Bloody arty homos.

Tragic indeed. And strange are the following facts:

1) Nothing was stolen. So what were they looking for, armed resistance from old folks?

2) Amin, the son states (life is gay, hey, hey, hey!) that he 'noticed his parents' home was locked and the car missing' and that he 'thought they were away'. For heaven's sake, what kind of a son would make such assumptions knowing that old folks are sitting ducks for thugs? He also stated that he 'neglected to check because he had a tiff with them'. That about completes the picture.

As for the police, what have they ever found except money in a complainant's pockets?

The servants did them in. The driver and the cook alongwith the chowkidar are missing as well as one of the family's cars.

The reporting in Dawn newspaper states that no material possessions had been taken from the house, and that the victims may have been knocked unconscious and then strangulated or suffocated. A sad day indeed for Pakistan.

sad and poor show. Few years back another celebrity Hakeem Saeed was also killed in Karachi.
God Bless

Tragic loss for Pakistan and the world of arts. Another senseless murder and that too of such a great artist, his wife and poor maid.
