DERA MURAD JAMALI: Four people, among them two women and a police constable, were shot dead and two others injured in separate incidents on Monday night in the Dera Allahyar area of Jafarabad district and Mach area of Bolan district.

Police said that apparently an incident in which a man and two women were slain in Goth Abdul Fateh near Dera Allahyar looked like ‘honour killing’.

The victims were identified as Yaqoob Chandio, Ms Jamila and Ms Laila, police said, adding that they had registered a case.

In another incident in Mach town, some men opened fire on three people, resulting in the death of Constable Muham-mad Siddique Samalani and injuries to Malik Yahya and another person. The injured were shifted to the Mach hospital.
