GUJRANWALA, Feb 15: Visiting a father’s sin on his son, a woman on Friday ‘slaughtered’ her nephew to exact revenge from his father over a monetary dispute at Rahwali.

Reports reaching here said Muhammad Usman, a seventh-class student, was standing outside his house at Usmanwala when his aunt Zaiba, wife of Nasir, took him to her house and tortured him with the help of her brother, Mithu.
