NAWABSHAH: A man strangulated his teenaged daughter to death in the name of honour in his house in Afzaal Shah town in the jurisdiction of B-Section police station on Sunday.
Abdul Sattar Afridi, who was arrested by police, confessed to killing his daughter Aisha, 18, and said he had given her hand to his nephew Feroz Khan five months ago but she ran away with one Muneer Malikani and got married to him just a few days ahead of Rukhsati.
