Four women, three men killed over karo-kari

SUKKUR: Four women and three men were killed over the pretext of karo-kari in three separate incidents on Friday.

Two women and two men were shot dead in Fazal Haq Buledi village in the Miranpur Buriro near Garhi Khero, Jacobabad district.

Kareem Bux Buledi with the help of his accomplices shot dead his wife Zarina, and his sister’s daughter Aisha at their house.

Then he came to a village street where he shot dead Shoukat Ali, and Eidan.

The police took the bodies of Shoukat and Eidan to a Garhi Khero hospital and those of Zarina and Aisha to Civil Hospital Jacobabad. The bodies were handed over to relatives after post-mortem.

Later, Kareem Bux surrendered at the Miranpur Buriro police station with the gun used in the crime. He confessed to have killed the four people and said that he had done so to save his honour as the two couples had illicit relations.

The police on the complaint of Rehmatullah Buledi, father of Shoukat, have registered an FIR against Karim Bux, Ali Bahar Buledi and Bashir Buledi.

Rehmatullah stated in the FIR that his innocent son had been killed by Karim Bux over old enmity.
