Couple killed for honour
2004-10-17
A man killed his daughter and her lover with a hammer after finding them in a compromising position at his home in Hayer village, Burki police jurisdiction, in the early hours of Saturday. Ishrat, 17, and Muhammad Mumtaz, 22, were lovers and neighbours. Mumtaz went to visit Ishrat on Friday night. He sneaked into her house and into Ishrat's room. Ishrat's father, Abdul Razzaq alias Ponday Khan, suddenly awoke and found the couple. In a rage, he attacked them with a hammer, bashing in their heads. He later surrendered himself to Burki police, who registered a case and sent the bodies for autopsies.
Can somebody introduce the concept of the shotgun wedding into Pakland? This is getting tiresome.
