[DAWN] A man in Badin surrendered himself to police on Wednesday after killing his 38-year-old wife for 'honour' by repeatedly hitting her with an axe.Nothing like an axe to restore the old honor. Bet it wasn't a fair fight; they never give the woman an axe in an honor killing.
The suspect told police that he suspected that the victim ‐ who was the mother of eight children, including three differently-abled daughters ‐ had illicit relations with another man who lived in the same area.
With three "differently abled" daughters, my guess is that the dear departed and the guy with the axe were closely related.
Eyewitnesses said that after being attacked, the woman ran out on the street crying for help but the suspect continued to attack her, eventually killing her.
"Help! Help! He's murdering me!"
"Is it an honor killing?"
"Yes! Hellllp!"
"Yer on yer own, lady."
The incident was confirmed by Assistant Sub-Inspector Mohammad Salim Khoso of Badin cop shoppe, who said that the body had been sent to Indus Hospital for post-mortem examination. A first information report (FIR) is yet be to registered.
"What do you think, Doctor Quincy?"
"Looks like an axe murder to me, Sam!"
In a separate incident, a man killed his 25-year-old wife and a mother of one, along with another man for the sake of "honour" in the Dilawar Marfani village of Shikarpur.
"Aaar! Me honor! It's been offended!"
"Help! Help! He's murdering me!"
The Station House Officer of Dilawar Marfani cop shoppe Shahzado Dasti told Dawn.com that the accused suspected that his wife had an extra-marital affair with his second victim, who hailed from Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
and worked as a peasant in the village.
"Hi! I'm here from Balochistan to work as a peasant... Hubba hubba! What a babe!"
"Yew brazen hussy! Where's me axe?"
The bodies of the victims were returned to their families after a post-mortem examination was conducted at Garhi Yasin Taluka Hospital.
