Murder case: Sanda police on Friday registered a case against three siblings on charges of killing their brother two-and-a-half years ago.

The case was registered on the complaint of Humaira Bibi who alleged that her husband, Shahbaz, was killed over a property dispute.

She had filed an application two-and-a-half years ago for the registration of a murder case against the suspects. Since then she had been visiting the offices of senior police officers concerned, but the case was not registered.
