Unidentified assailants gunned down Boob Boverieki, a 45-years-old Norwegian national and territorial commander of the country’s oldest non-government organisation, The Salvation Army (TSA), on Thursday night at the TSA Headquarters. “This is totally an ‘internal conspiracy murder’ and TSA officials have nominated their colleague Major Younas Joseph as culprit,” Superintendent of Police (SP) Ahsan Younas said. Boob Boverieki was deputed in Pakistan about a year ago, and he was living with his wife and two kids in the residential portion of the TSA Headquarters located at Queens Road. On Thursday evening, at about 6:45 pm, Boob chaired an official meeting and then participated in a prayer before leaving his office for his residence.
TSA officials informed that there was a small dark alley that divided the headquarters into residential and official portions. “We heard two shots fired immediately after Boob had left his office. Upon reaching the alley, we found Boob lying in a pool of blood and there was no one nearby,” they said.
Property dispute: SP Ahsan Younas said TSA official Peter, a New Zeeland national, had lodged a case with the Civil Lines police. He said Peter, in his application, nominated TSA official Major Younas Joseph as culprit. The SP said the complainant stated a property dispute between Boob and Younas Joseph to be the reason for BoobÂ’s murder. He said circumstantial evidence supported the complainantÂ’s allegations.
