Mother slits throats of two in DHA
Police arrested the suspect, Adeeba, and recovered the murder weapon.
According to authorities, Adeeba had a history of mental illness and frequent seizures, which led to her divorce last year.
The court had granted custody of the children to their father, Ghufran, who would occasionally send them to visit their mother.
On the day of the incident, the children were staying with Adeeba when she allegedly suffered a seizure and, in a state of mental imbalance, attacked them in the bathroom.
The victims were identified as 4.5-year-old Sameeha and seven-year-old Zarrar.
Police said Adeeba called her ex-husband to confess to the killings.
The father and the children's uncle then alerted police through the emergency helpline. Officers arrived at the scene, recovered the bodies, and shifted them to Jinnah Hospital for legal proceedings.

CM Bugti, independence day terror plot foiled, professor arrested over alleged BLA links
Security forces have foiled a major terrorist attack that was planned for August 14 allegedly by the proscribed Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), implicating a university professor as facilitator. 'This was not just an attack—it was part of a larger plan to break Pakistan and destabilize Balochistan. Our agencies acted swiftly and crushed their conspiracy," said Balochistan Chief Minister Sarfaraz Bugti, addressing a press conderence in Quetta on Monday. BLA's Majeed Brigade employs multiple tactics, said Bugti, adding that the group has claimed responsibility for previous terrorist attacks as well. The arrested suspect, identified as Professor Usman Qazi, holds a PhD in Pakistan Studies and was a government employee, Bugti told the media. Qazi, who is currently under interrogation, allegedly admitted to his involvement with the BLA on video and shared details of how he became associated with the proscribed group.

He was then contacted by Hebtan alias Kalak, who recruited him for BLA and subsequently introduced him to Basheer Zaib and the group's regional commander, Sher Dil. Qazi was allegedly in communication with Dil via encrypted messaging app Telegram. On video, Qazi said that his first assignment was to provide medical assistance to Dil. He further said that he gave shelter to the man who carried out a suicide bombing on Quetta Railway Station. Around 2,000 to 2,500 government employees have come under investigation as part of counterterrorism measures in the province, said Bugti, addding that a dedicated cell has been established to deal specifically with matters related to terrorism. 'Deprived how?' Addressing the media, Bugti rejected the notion that Balochistan is deprived in any way. "To those who insist Balochistan is deprived, I ask - in what way was this professor deprived?" The CM negated such sentiments as "propaganda". He warned the people of Balochistan against joining organisations like the BLA, asking parents to keep an eye on their children. Bugti further said that the government of Balochistan was taking all measures to eliminate terrorism from the province in coordination with the security forces. "We are the state, not terrorists," he said. The CM further asserted that the government would not be intimidated by extremist elements. Those who commit terrorism in the name of Baloch identity must also be included within the ambit of the National Action Plan along with extremist militants.

Blueface shares new prison photo while serving sentence in Los Angeles County Jail
Rapper Blueface has updated his fans from behind bars, sharing a new photo taken in the yard of Los Angeles County Jail where he is currently serving a four-year sentence. The 27-year-old, whose real name is Jonathan Porter, entered custody in January after a judge revoked his probation relating to a 2021 assault case. In the latest post, Blueface appeared in casual prison attire with visible tattoos and a noticeably stronger physique. The caption read: "This is not a 50/50 yard." Supporters quickly flooded the comments section with messages of encouragement. Among them was his mother, Karlissa Saffold, who wrote, "It's count down for the celebration of my babies return. Come get these tickets Blueface Home Coming Celebrity Bash." His manager Wack 100 has confirmed that the rapper has already served around 440 days in custody, meaning his time could be reduced to roughly three years. The artist's legal history has been turbulent. In 2022, he accepted a plea deal in Nevada following a nightclub shooting, pleading guilty to firearm and battery charges, and was given three years' probation. More serious allegations were dismissed. Despite his imprisonment, Blueface continues to release new music through his team.
