The two brothers exchanged hot words over the issue. Ashraf first stabbed and killed his 12-year-old niece Nazia Bibi, then took Pir Muhammad and Bashiran Bibi to the nearby graveyard, butchered them and fled away.

On information, Kasur SSP Ghulam Muhammad Kalyar reached the spot. Pattoki Saddar police have yet to register a case.

In Muhallah Ibrahimabad, some unknown culprits killed Parveen Bibi, 17, and Nasim Bibi, 19, after intoxicating them.

Kasur Saddar Circle DSP Malik Khadim Hussain told newsmen that Amanat Ali had suspicion that his daughters had illicit relations with some boys of the area.

According to the DSP, Amanat reprimanded his daughters many times but to no avail. He gave some intoxicated drink to them and later stabbed and killed them.

The DSP claimed that Mustafabad police had arrested Amanat Ali.
