Chakwal: A sixteen-year-old girl was gunned down by her uncle in Matan Kallaan village, Pakitsan on Monday, according to pakistan based newspaper Dawn.
Munsib Khan, father of the victim told Kallar Kahar police officials that he left his home early in the morning for work. His younger brother, Muhammad Gulistan, alias Gullu, came to his house at 10 am.
Gullu reportedly found his niece, Rihana Bibi, listening to music on a tape-recorder with the volume turned up. He asked the girl to switch off the tape-recorder but she refused. This led to a fight between the uncle and niece.
Enraged by the girl’s defiance Gullu shot his niece, Dawn reported.
“Two bullets were fired at the girl. One hit her in the head while the other on her face. She died on the spot,” a police official at Kallar Kahar Police Station told Dawn. The accused fled from the village after committing the murder.
Investigation Officer Ali Akbar said the killer will be arrested soon. “We have registered a case against him and are making efforts to trace him,” he added.
