New 'honor killing' case in Pakistan


(MENAFN)In a new "honor killing" case, bodies of a couple believed to have been killed and buried by their families after they ran away were exhumed by the Pakistani police.

At least nine people suspected to be involved in the double homicide were arrested by authorities in the port city of Karachi, including the father of the male victim, however; several family members sought in the case are still hiding.

The owner of the house where the couple used to live in western Karachi entered the property after they went missing for three days and reported to the police that he saw bloodstains around the home.

"The autopsy report says that the couple were killed by strangulation." said Dr. Rohina Hasan of the government-run Abbasi Shaheed Hospital, Tuesday.
