2 women killed for 'honour'
 Two women in Sindh have been hacked to death by close relatives who suspected them of flirting with neighbours, in a so-called honour killing, said police on Saturday. Farida (18) and Hameeda (20) were asleep when the men attacked them with axes, smashing their heads, in a village in Sindh on Thursday morning, said police officer Ghulam Nabi. The girls were asleep in their home when their four uncles attacked them, Nabi told AFP. They suspected the victims had bad character and were flirting with men in the village, said Nabi, adding that two of the attackers had been arrested, and police were searching for the other two. The suspects told police the victims, who were not married, were kari. Posted by: Fred 2007-02-25 |
