Investigation deepens into tragic killing of three children in Ichhra
According to Beyond Time News, the investigation into the killing of three minor siblings in Lahore’s Ichhra area has taken a major turn. Police are now examining the possible involvement of the children’s mother and her alleged links with a man from Jhang.
The tragic incident shocked the city after three young siblings were found dead inside their home.
Mother’s alleged contacts under investigation
According to Beyond Time News, investigators say the main suspect, Rida, remained in regular contact with a man identified as Shehryar through phone calls and WhatsApp messages. Police also traced financial transactions between the two using mobile apps.
Officials believe she planned to separate from her husband and later marry Shehryar. They also suspect she saw her children as an obstacle in this plan.
Police, however, clarified that these findings remain part of the ongoing investigation and have not been proven in court.
Husband cleared after initial questioning
According to Beyond Time News, police initially detained the husband, Ramzan, but later released him after finding no direct link to the crime.
Investigators also plan to question Shehryar as part of the widening inquiry.
CCTV footage raises new questions
According to Beyond Time News, CCTV footage shows the suspect leaving the house shortly after the incident. She appears calm in the video as she exits, looks around, and then walks away.
Police estimate the incident occurred before 10am. Investigators also suspect an attempt was made to mislead the initial crime scene analysis.
Suspect remanded for further interrogation
According to Beyond Time News, a court has granted a five-day physical remand of the accused to police for further questioning.
Investigators say she initially blamed her in-laws and gave inconsistent statements about the condition of the children when she left the house.
Confession and forensic investigation
According to Beyond Time News, police claim the suspect later confessed after contradictions appeared in her statements and mobile phone records were reviewed.
Officials say forensic reports are still pending, and the final conclusion will depend on complete evidence.
