Suicide and murder behind the deaths of two women in Takhar, Taliban says

Taliban’s security command in northeastern Takhar province has released newsletters detailing two separate incidents of “suicide” and “murder” involving two women in the province.

In one incident, on Thursday, a 23-year-old married woman named Tahira ended her life by consuming mouse poison in the Yangi-Qala district. The Taliban police have initiated an investigation, citing “family problems and violence” as the potential reasons behind the act.
