A woman was shot dead in Orangi Town in what police suspect to be an incident of ‘honour’ killing.
The murder took place in Orangi Town’s Qasba MPR Colony. Police identified the victim as 20-year-old Sonia, wife of Rehmatullah. Her body was taken to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital.
Police said that the woman had eloped and married Rehmatullah. She later left her husband’s home only to return recently, upon which she was allegedly killed by her in-laws.
The woman reportedly had no children. Police did not confirm whether the husband himself was involved in the murder. Further investigations are under way.
