Jamshed was the youngest among the three sons.A neighbour told police that “Jamshed came home on the night of July 19 and asked Razia for Rs 20. When she told him she would give him the money the next morning since she only had Rs 500 and did not have change, he became enraged. In a fit of anger, he attacked her with a brick first, injuring her. Jamshed then picked up an axe and fatally slashed her throat. Razia died on the spot.”Jamshed fled the scene after committing the crime.A relative said that Jamshed’s relationship with his wife was strained for years due to his drug addiction. “He was doing drugs day and night.
