KARACHI: In a distressing incident that took place in Karachi, a man reportedly committed suicide after killing his wife and three children in their sleep inside a flat located near Jinnah International Airport, police said on Monday.

A police team recovered five bodies of a family. They detailed that Syed Ahsan Raza Rizvi committed suicide by hanging himself with a rope after killing his wife and three children. The deceased's neighbours told the cops that Ahsan was unemployed for some time.

Police said they also found a 30-bore pistol and rounds from the crime scene besides seizing a note from a living-room, asking to open a file saved in his laptop.

The file carries a tragic last message from Ahsan, in which he confessed to committing suicide and killing his family members as he was left with no choice but to choose “this easy option”.

“My wife and children were sleeping and they don’t even know [about my plan to murder them]. I used a stolen pistol to shoot them.”

The note stated that he saved another file on his laptop, carrying complete details of his loans, adding that people must kill him if they found him alive.

Police have launched a thorough probe to ascertain facts about the gruesome incident.
