The police have registered an FIR.
Our Larkana correspondent adds: Two unknown armed men killed a bride in Kando village, some 60 kilometres off here, on Friday night on the pretext of Karo-kari.
The women, Ferzana, 17, who married with Wazeer Khoso three days back, was a resident of Kambar town where her relatives had labelled her as Kari and she was sold out for Rs100,000 to Khoso, hushing up the background.
The armed men barged into the house of Khoso where he and his wife were asleep.
After overpowering her husband, the accused shot dead Ferzana.
Khoso registered an FIR with the Warah police station under section 302/34.
He said in the FIR that he came to know that his wife was a kari after their marriage.
The autopsy on the body, carried out in the CMC Hospital, Larkana, by Dr Razia Sultana, showed that the deceased had received three bullets.
