BADIN: A woman succumbed to her injuries after being beaten with stones and bricks by her husband in Tando Muhammad Khan's People's Colony area on Friday, local officials quoted witnesses as saying.

The 35-year-old mother of four was attacked with stones and bricks before her husband fled the scene, the officials said.

The woman was being transported to the Tando Muhammad Khan Civil Hospital during which she succumbed to her injuries.

Senior Superintendent Police (SSP) Tando Muhammad Khan Shabbir Ahmed Sethar said the motive behind the attack could not be immediately ascertained.

The SSP added that if the victim's relatives fail to lodge a First Information Report against the alleged killer, a complaint in this regard would be registered on behalf of the state.
