A 25-year-old Pakistani-origin British woman was found dead at her friend's residence in Lahore's Defence Housing Authority (DHA) on Monday.

The deceased was identified as Mahira Zulfiqar, who had arrived in Pakistan from the United Kingdom two months ago and was staying at the upper portion of a bungalow in Lahore DHA with her friend, reported Geo News.

The police informed that the victim was strangled and shot. A domestic worker found her body around 12 in the afternoon.
