DERA MURAD JAMALI: A man and a woman were killed “in the name of honour” at Darabi in Kachhi district on Sunday, Levies Force officials said.

Gunmen barged into a hou­se and opened fire, killing one Abdul Aziz and a woman on the spot. The identity of the woman could not be ascertained. The suspected killers fled but two people were taken into custody for interrogation.

The bodies were taken to the district hospital in Dhadar. “It was an incident of honour killing,” a Levies official said.
