SUKKUR: At least four people including a woman were killed and two others were seriously injured in an armed clash between two tribal groups from the Chandio community in Goth Kazi Wah, in the Humayoon Police precinct, in the small hours of Wednesday. Police said both groups had long been at odds over a matrimonial dispute.

Squabbling between them late Tuesday night turned into a deadly armed clash.

Ms Ameeran, Shabbir Chandio, Wahid Bakhsh Chandio and Zamir Chandio died on the spot. Police have detained about a dozen people from both sides for interrogation.
