While the Balochistan Assembly (BA) strongly denounced honour killings particularly the execution of a woman and man near Quetta that generated nationwide outcry, a man allegedly shot dead his daughter and nephew in Quetta in the name of “honour.”

This happened just days after the Degari case, in which a couple was gunned down in broad daylight, drawing widespread condemnation.

Shalkot Sub-Divisional Police Officer Athar Rashid said the daughter and the nephew died in the firing, while the suspect managed to escape after the incident.

The bodies were taken to the hospital for medico legal formalities, after which they were handed over to the heirs.

Rashid added that a team from Kechi Baig police station was conducting raids to arrest the suspect. “The suspect will be arrested soon, while further investigation into the incident is underway,” he said.
