In a shocking incident, a woman and her 10-year-old daughter were murdered on March 28 by the man with whom the woman was in a live-in relationship. The accused, Shamshad, buried them in the courtyard of his home and continued to live there.

The police, acting on a missing report filed by the woman's friend on July 14, recovered the skeletons of the two on Wednesday. The police claimed Shamshad had befriended the woman on a social networking site and hid his religious identity.
