Two brothers murdered four people including their two sisters in the name of honour killing in Pakistan, police officials said.

According to police, the men carried out the gruesome act to protect the honour of their family as they suspected their sisters of having an affair with the slain men.

The incident took place in Nawabshah district, where Musa and Shaukat Zardari shot Ismail and Yusuf, while they were working at their farms.

After shooting them, the Zardari brothers went home and killed their sisters Qamar Bano and Shahzadi, before surrendering to local police officials.

In their statement the suspects confessed to the crime in the name of honour killing.

Honour Killing is locally known in Nawabshah district, one of the districts in the province of Sindh, Pakistan, as Karo Kari, and it is largely witnessed in northern parts of the Sindh province.

Last year 714 people, including 571 women and 143 men, were killed under the pretext of honour killing in Sindh province.

The honour killings are also used as a tool to protect the property from division. In most of the cases in the province the women are not allowed to marry of their choice and if they do then they are executed as per the orders of local jirga or council of elders.

  1. The bible say thy shall not kill and you people killed human beings created by God Almighty and you call it honour killing. The blood of those you killed will cry against your generations yet unborn and the judgement of God Almighty will be upon you people of the days of your life.
