Author: AFP

SHANGLA: A man, aided by his brother, killed his five months pregnant wife for ‘honour’, accusing her of infidelity, police said on Saturday.

Minat Sajida, a resident of Dandai area of Besham tehsil of Shangla district, was gunned down after her husband accused her of having extra-marital relations, the deceased woman’s brother told the police.

Dandai Station House Officer (SHO) Afzal Khan said the victim’s brother claimed his sister had been married to Bajreen for 14 years and they had four children. But Bajreen believed he was not the father of the child she was expecting, he added.

Both Bajreen and his brother are missing since the murder. The killing comes a week after Qandeel Baloch was killed in Multan.
