TIMERGARA: A man killed his wife in Boota Jabagai village here on Tuesday night over the frequent fights and fled.

The police said the deceased was a mother of four.

The father of killer Saeed Jan refused to hand over the body to the woman’s family.

However, the police stepped in and seized the body before shifting it to the Tehsil Headquarters Hospital Samarbagh for autopsy.

Her brother claimed that the deceased had been living at his place for many days after leaving her husband’s house over the frequent fights.

He said her father-in-law and brother-in-law convinced the deceased to return home, where her husband gunned her down on Tuesday night and escaped.

Local elders, including Khan Mohammad, Jafar Haji, Yar Mula Khan, Ajab Khan, Yar Mohammad, Amir Mohammad and Haji Sher Mohammad, demanded the early arrest of the killer for exemplary punishment.

The police registered a case and began investigation. However, the killer wasn’t arrested by Wednesday night.

TRAINING PROGRAMME: The five-day lawyer advocacy training programme ended here at the University of Malakand’s law department on Wednesday.

The event was organised by the law department in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme.

UoM vice chancellor Professor Johar Ali was the chief guest during the concluding session of the training programme.

The function was also addressed by former president of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Bar Council Amjad Ali Shah, UoM law department chairman Barrister Attaullah Khan, UNDP legal adviser Arshad Jan and vice chancellor Professor Johar Ali.

The speakers asked lawyers to utilise their energies and capabilities for the welfare of vulnerable communities.

They said the society would fail if there was no rule of law or the people had no access to justice.

The vice chancellor later distributed shields and certificates to trainees.
