Disowned by husband, family, woman drowns daughter in sea

A woman was arrested in Pakistan for allegedly drowning her two-and-a-half-year-old daughter in the sea after being abandoned by her husband, police said Tuesday. The 28-year-old woman committed the crime as her husband threw her and his daughter out of the house and her family refused to give them shelter, they said.

SSP South Investigation Tariq Dharejo said the woman planned to commit suicide after the incident. "She had no place to live and no one to turn to which led her to commit the crime," he said.
