5 killed in firing over matrimonial dispute
NOWSHERA, June 10: At least five people were killed and six others wounded in an exchange of fire between two groups over a matrimonial dispute in Adamzai village, police said.
Qari Nasir told police in Akora Khattak that Wali Khan and his son had tried to kidnap his sister. This led to a scuffle in which he was injured and one of his relatives killed.
However, the rival group told police that they had gone to Mr Nasir’s house with a jirga to seek the hand of his sister for Mohammad Shafi, son of Wali Khan.
They claimed that the girl’s brother had opened fire during the talks, killing Muhammad Shafi, his brother Jafar Shah and jirga members Noor Kalam and Zeenat and injuring six.
They said two of the wounded women were taken to hospital in Peshawar.
