CHAKWAL: A sixteen-year-old girl was gunned down in Matan Kallaan village located in tehsil Kallar Kahar of Chakwal district, police sources said on Monday.
Munsib Khan told Kallar Kahar Police that he left his home early in the morning for work.
His younger brother, Muhammad Gulistan, alias Gullu, came to his house at 10am.
Gullu found his niece, Rihana Bibi, listening to music on a tape-recorder with the volume turned up. He asked the girl to switch off the tape-recorder but she refused. This led to a fight between the uncle and niece.
Enraged by the girl’s defiance Gullu shot his niece.
“Two bullets were fired at the girl. One hit her in the head while the other on her face. She died on the spot,” a police official at Kallar Kahar Police Station told Dawn. The accused fled from the village after committing the murder.
Investigation Officer Ali Akbar said the killer will be arrested soon. “We have registered a case against him and are making efforts to trace him,” he added.

What a shameful act. This Gulluism will lead us to nowhere. These depraved should be hanged in public. BUT wait. We still need a true and honest judicial system free from any political interference. which I cannot see in the presence of another cheep justice Mr. Nasir-ul-Mulk.

I can't believe this. I think the killer should be given the death penalty in his own town so people can see it.

youngsters do like entertainment like music, but an uncle reacting with Gun is extreme !! having made her understood calmly and politely in a gentle tone would have helped. I guess personal egos resulted this incidence going out of hand.
Tolerance is disappearing from society.

I seriously doubt if it was music only. This is clearly like an attempt for rape or something of the sort and due to girl's resistance she was shot. There should be thorough investigation.

All culprits are taking shelter of religion to commit crime.

Barbaric act of "Uncle" must not go unpunished. What a terrible shame he has brought to the family and deprived his young niece of her life.

Surprised to know that one can kill his own relative just because of volume, even more surprising is that Tape recorders are still used. He wasted two bullets, I guess that in the price of two bullets he could buy and gift personal tiny mp3 player with earphones. Else I dont know guns and bullets are quite cheaper in Pakistan.

Was it only loud music or more sinister motive behind the murder, like rape. Police should investigate this thoroughly.

@Combaticus
I agree entirely
probably a case of sexual harassment and covered up with a lame story about music.

So the issue is not that of someone dying for listening to "music", rather an insecure, uneducated bloke not able to take arguments from a 16 year old girl.
Possibility of refusing to become a molestation target could also be reason for this killing.
