PESHAWAR, Dec 30: A TV journalist was shot dead here on Sunday evening.

Kamil Mashhadi received two bullets wounds, one to the head and the other to the chin and died on way to the Lady Reading Hospital.

According to eyewitnesses, two men came to his house in Mohalla Hajian on Circular Road and called him out to receive his salary. As he emerged from the door they shot at him with a pistol.

The 45-year-old journalist, who worked for a private TV channel, leaves six children to mourn his death. His son Syed Hamaat told reporters a family dispute was behind the murder.—A Reporter
