SUKKUR: A man surrendered himself before police on Wednesday claiming that he had shot dead his daughter and nephew for honour in Rasool Bukhsh Weesar village near Jacobabad the previous night.

The Jacobabad police quoted Mushtaq Weesar as telling them that he lost patience after his daughter, Gul Bano, 16, and nephew, Dur Mohammed, 19, did not pay heed to his repeated warning against their having an extramarital affair. On Tuesday night, he said, he shot them dead.

The police went to the place identified by the suspect and collected the bodies. The suspect was booked and arrested.
