ISLAMABAD: A man murdered his son after the latter blamed him for the death of his grandson.

Police said Abdul Wadood’s son suffered from pneumonia a few days ago and died without getting proper medical treatment in his absence.

When Wadood returned home, he came to know that his son was not taken to hospital despite the presence of his father in the house.

When he complained about it, an argument started between Wadood and his father during which the latter shot Wadood. The injured was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The police registered a case against the alleged killer and arrested him in response to a complaint lodged by his wife.
