A horrific occurrence stunned Karachi locals when a 24-year-old man called Muhammad Sohail was brutally murdered by his own father for failing to say prayers, SAMAA reported.
The event occurred on Wednesday morning in Gulistan-e-Block Johar’s 11.
Haji Muhammad Saeed, the father, arrived from fajr prayer to find his kid asleep. Saeed killed Sohail by striking him with a hammer without warning.
The accused claimed that he had repeatedly warned his children, including Sohail, to offer prayers on time. But the victim did not pay heed.
Frustrated and angry, Saeed lost control and killed his own son.
The police were notified of the crime, and upon arriving at the scene, they apprehended the accused.
A hammer and a knife, which are believed to have been used in the murder, were also found at the crime scene.
The body was later shifted to Jinnah Post Graduate Medical Center for a postmortem examination.
The Shahrah-e-Faisal police station registered a case against the father under the charges of murder.
Assistant Superintendent Police (ASP) Highway Faisal Zafar Siddique Changa confirmed that Sohail had been killed shortly before his body was recovered.
