A man, with the help of his son, allegedly shot dead his daughter and her fiancé in yet another incident of so-called “honour-killing”.

The man – identified as Akbar Khan, a resident of Zaramina area – and his son, Ahmed Ali, allegedly killed his daughter and her fiancé, Nazir Khan, when he was informed that his daughter’s soon-to-be husband had come to meet her in his absence.

According to police, both the deceased had liked each other for some time and were engaged a week ago.
