MULTAN, PAKISTAN – This is like an ‘Ali Baba’ story gone haywire! On the verge of being fund out, a woman packed up her paramour in an old tin trunk, with disastrous results.

A Pakistani woman, having an affair with her cousin accidently suffocated him in a trunk after hiding him there when other relatives woke up late at night, police said on Sunday (July 10). The incident took place in the suburbs of the central Pakistan town of Muzaffargarh, late Saturday night

Twenty two year old Mushtaq Ahmed Baloch, a married man , was having an affair with his cousin Rani Bibi, a mother of two, and came to her house at night while her family was sleeping. However, he didn’t creep in very quietly, and a noise woke up Bibi’s father- and brothers-in-law. Now quick thinking Bibi bundled her part time lover into a large tin storage trunk in her room. She then placed a padlock on the trunk.

But by the time her suspicious in-laws  came to search the room, the poor chap inside the trunk Baloch was forced to cry out for help as he was suffocating, police said.

So what did Bibi’s dad-in-law and his sons do? They just sat around and waited. They did not open the trunk and he died within 15 minutes, police added. “We have arrested Bibi’s father-in-law and his two sons on murder charges,” local police station chief Sardar Muhammad Idrees told the media. He said that Bibi’s husband was not at home as he had a job in the southern port city of Karachi, some 900km away

Muzaffargarh district police chief of Awais Ahmed Malik confirmed the details.
