Ahmed (38), a tailor, who lived in a rented house along with Rubina and their two children, had frequent fights with his wife over financial issues. Police suspect that on Tuesday, the couple had another heated argument, after which Rubina allegedly grabbed a boulder and bludgeoned Ahmed to death. She partly stuffed the body in the refrigerator and went to her parents’ house along with their children.

The murder came to light on Thursday, when the house owner grew suspicious as Ahmed had not come out of the house since the day Rubina left, and tried to call him over phone. With no response from Ahmed, he informed the police, who reached the house and forcibly opened the door and found the body.

Sources said Rubina was taken into custody, but the police are yet to confirm the arrest and are reportedly investigating if anyone else helped her to execute the murder.
