Reports also suggest that Humaira lived a quiet, isolated life. She rarely interacted with anyone and was known to pay two to three months’ rent in advance before blocking her landlord’s number.

When asked why the advanced state of decomposition did not alert neighbours through any odor, SSP Mahzoor explained that her neighbours had been out of the city since September 2024 and only returned in February 2025.

“In the early stages of dec0mposition, odour tends to spread. However, as the process advances, the smell fades,” he added.
