A girl and her fiance were gunned down on Thursday, allegedly by the girl’s maternal uncle after spotting them chatting in Pakistan’s Sindh province, in the latest case of honour killing, a media report said.
The girl, identified as Nazeeran, was speaking with her husband-to-be Shahid in Nayi Wahi village in the suburbs of Ghotki town when her uncle spotted them.
The uncle opened fire on them out of anger, Express News reported. According to police, the victims were each other’s cousins and the incident was a case of ‘honour killing’.
Two suspects, both of whom happen to be the girl’s uncles, have been arrested so far.
