[DAWN] A woman was bumped off in Kohat's Astarzai area last Friday allegedly by a relative who objected to her working outside the home, police said.Her relatives attempted to keep the incident hidden, a family member told DawnNews, but a First Information Report was lodged after reports of the murder began circulating on social media.
District Police Officer (DPO) Kohat Javed Iqbal said the woman, Hina Shahnawaz, had been shot four times allegedly by her cousin Mehboob Alam, who did not approve of her working.
| Summary: The husband approved, but a cousin did not, and killed her. What a lovely culture. |
Then bravely runs away.
| Updated summary: With no other support on offer for the three-woman household, particularly from the cousin, our heroine went to work for a reputable charity. Preferring that they all starve to death genteely, the cousin kills her, condemning the rest to a slow death. Even more lovely. |
