The police Saturday made a shocking revelation that two children who were found throat slit in their Bemina apartment earlier this week were killed by their mother. “Investigation points fingers towards the mother of the children who were found murdered in Bemina. She is the prime suspect and according to prima-facie evidences, she is behind this gruesome crime. But we are waiting for the FSL reports,” Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Ashiq Hussain Bukhari told reporters at a press conference. “But there are some technicalities like we still have to match her fingerprints with the weapon found at the spot with which she slit throats of her children and later also cut her throat,” he added. Pertinently, the two children of a Molvi were found brutally murdered while his wife was critically wounded Wednesday morning. Aaliya Iftikhar (5) and Muhammad Hashim (3) and their mother Naseema (40) wife of Molvi Muhammad Iftikhar Lone were found lying in pool of blood in their apartment next to Masjid Noor Iqbalabad Bemina soon after morning prayers. The SSP ruled out involvement of any outsider in the killings saying: “There’s no involvement of outsiders in the murder as clues point towards her alone.” He also spoke about some Tantrik, whom she would visit. “She is a resident of Gurez and was under influence of a Tantrik. She had recently met the Tantrik at Gurez and after the meeting she used to say that she was fed up with her life and was supposed to meet some Faqir on Wednesday,” he said. When asked about the mental condition of the accused, Bukhari said: “So far the medical test of the woman has not been conducted and it will be premature to say anything about it. But at hospital when she regained conscious she tried to kill herself again.” To mention, the gory incident occurred when the Imam Iftikhar Ahmad was out for Fajr prayers. On reaching home, he found his family in a pool of blood. Iftikhar, hails from Gurez in north Kashmir and had shifted to Iqbalabad’s Noor Masjid around three months ago. Earlier, he used to lead prayers at a Masjid in Nowgam area of the City.
