MIRPURKHAS: A married woman was allegedly gunned down in the name of honour by two of her brothers in Allah Wasayo Brohi village near Tagosar town on Saturday.

Neighbours said that the victim Ms Nabila was at her home when she was informed that her brothers were looking for her to kill her. She ran to the neighbour’s house to seek refuge but her brothers caught up with her there and fired indiscriminately at her, leaving her dead in a pool of blood, they said.

The killers managed to escape easily after committing the crime.

Later, Sindhri police shifted the victim’s body to Mirpurkhas district headquarters hospital for autopsy and went after the killers, who however eluded arrest despite several raids at different places.

The body was handed over to heirs after postmortem.
