JACOBABAD: In an apparent honour-killing case, a man gunned down his wife and her alleged paramour in the precinct of Shabirabad Police Station on Monday.

Head Constable Muhammad Sadiq Brohi said that the accused identified as Barkat Ali Banglani allegedly killed his wife Gul Khan Banglani, mother to five children, and her paramour Hazoor Bakhsh in Bahadur Khan village, Kashmore and fled the crime scene.

The body of the woman was shifted to Kandhkot hospital, while body of the deceased man was moved to Thul hospital for an autopsy.

Sindhi women, especially those living in northern areas of the province, often become target of honour killing.
