Islamist Shoots his wife (Karo Kari)
A married woman and a man were shot dead after the husband of the woman branded them karo-kari in Hasil Shar village, near Daharki, on Monday. Bagh Ali Shar suspected that his wife, Shahzadi, had illicit relations with Sono Pitafi. He went over to Sono's house and shot him dead. Later, he shot dead Shahzadi in his fields where she had been working, and fled. An FIR was registered with the Keenjhar police against Bagh Ali, Abdul Shakoor and Abdul Qadeer. However, no arrest was made till the filing of this report. This one no less condemnable was less gruesome. Usually it involves the "wronged" man hacking his wife, sister, daughter or mother to death with an axe. The woman is forced to wear bridal clothes and a whole procession takes her to the river bank where she is hacked to death.
