MULTAN: A woman who was having an affair with her cousin accidentally suffocated him in a trunk after hiding him there when other relatives woke up late at night, police said Sunday.
Married father Mushtaq Ahmed Baloch, 22, was having an affair with his cousin Rani Bibi, a mother of two, and came to her house at night while her family was sleeping, police said.
The noise as Baloch entered the house woke up Bibi's father and brothers-in-law, prompting her to hide him in a large tin storage trunk in her room.
She then placed a padlock on the trunk.
But her in-laws came to search the room and Baloch was forced to cry out for help as he was suffocating, police said.
They did not open the trunk and he died within 15 minutes, police added.
The incident took place in the suburbs of the of Muzaffargarh town, late Saturday night.
“We have arrested Bibi's father-in-law and his two sons on murder charges,” local police station chief Sardar Mohammad Idrees told AFP.
He said that Bibi's husband was not at home as he had a job in Karachi.
Muzaffargarh district police chief Muzaffargarh Awais Ahmed Malik confirmed the details.

Women was trying to live a life as should be lived by human beings. Bad are the people who create conditions where a woman has to live in fear of family members and other neighbors.
It is sad but still a murder.

@Abraham Haque We always put all the blame on West whereas our system is to be blamed where we force girls to marry to our choice. This does not happen in West.

Having an affair is a religious and moral issue. Not letting a human being out when suffocating and screaming is a degree of violence, leading to harm, and in this case death. The intention to kill may not be there but this is indirect deadly violence.

Cousins are considered same as sisters/brothers in other cultures. How can they even think of sleeping with each other.

Though what they were doing was not right, yet to intentionally let a human being die, through inaction, is still a crime greater than the extramarital affair.

In this case both, man and woman, are equally to be accused and punished but I wonder why all have spared her. How could he dare to enjoy with her unless she agrees to it? Even the police has arrested others sparing her. Iqbal Hadi Zaidi

Why they did not open the trunk. They could have handed him over to the police. Why killing someone so easy these days? People have forgotten they are answerable to God one day.

Millions of young married Pakistanis are working overseas and in cities outside of their own without their families. This incident is a reminder that in a society with poor economic conditions and decaying values the basic family unit is under serious threat from the toxic mixture of bare human needs and media celebrated immoral practices glorified in films and TV dramas.
