A man in Mardan buried his wife in his house’s washroom after murdering her in cold blood.

The couple had been engaged in a dispute for sometime, although details have not been revelaed.

The man allegedly killed his wife and told the woman’s family that she had ran away from home.

The woman’s father then filed a police complaint leading to an investigation.

However, after five days of no success, the police raided the man’s house to find the corpse in an under construction washroom.

The main accused managed to flee from the scene just before the body was discovered. However, two of his brothers have been discovered.

The couple had been married for five years but had a tumultous relationship. They also had a three-year-old daughter.
