Father allegedly chokes teenage daughter to death over 'honour' in Islamabad
2017-03-29
[DAWN] A man strangled his 15-year-old daughter to death on Tuesday in a suspected honour killing incident in Islamabad, police officials told DawnNews.

The incident took place within the jurisdiction of Golra cop shoppe.

The accused confessed to killing his daughter over ’honour’, in video footage available with DawnNews. He refrained from sharing details about the incident.

The reported confession was confirmed by Golra police and they stated that the accused surrendered himself after allegedly killing the girl.

The corpse of the girl has been sent for postmortem.

The victim's mother registered a First Information Report (FIR) against her husband in the case and further investigations are underway.

#1  Sorry, but honor killings are built into the culture in Pakistain. This is not exactly a one-off story. Probably worth publicizing; eventually it might bring about change, say in the next 7 centuries or so although it's iffy.
