Published July 7, 2007

MARDAN, July 6: Two women were shot dead by four people over a family dispute in the Garyal village here on Thursday night. Bakhtyar along with three accomplices allegedly killed his sister-in-law Shan Bibi and a relative, Sardara.

Sherzada, a close relative of the accused, lodged an FIR with the Rustam police against the four people, claiming that following some arguments with Bakhtyar over a domestic issue, his wife had gone to her parents’ house three days ago.

Sherzada said he along with his sister-in-law Shan Bibi and daughter-in-law Sardara went to the house of Bakhtyar on Thursday night for reconciliation but the accused got infuriated during the discussion and opened fire on them.
