SHEIKHUPURA: A man killed four women of his family, including his old mother, in the name of so-called honour in the Bismillah Colony, Shahkot, Nankana Sahib district, on Saturday.
The suspect, identified as Shakil Akhtar, had suspicions about the character of his wife, daughter and the wife of his brother.
On Saturday, Shakil exchanged harsh words with his family members. His mother tried to argue with him but he did not listen to her. Instead, he got infuriated and opened indiscriminate fire on her and three other women members of his family. As a result of the firing, his mother Kaneez Fatima, wife Shabana, daughter Faiza and sister-in-law Zonara died on the spot. Shakil escaped from the scene.
