KOHAT: In an honor killing case the tribesmen from Darra Adamkhel tribal tehsil killed a young man on Friday with bricks and stones for contracting love marriage with a tribal girl a few months ago.

The body of the resident of Jungle Khel was found near Hafizabad which was badly mutilated with repeated assaults of bricks and stones.

He had married the girl a few months ago. The girl agreed to marriage despite opposition from her family, which felt disgraced.

The father of the deceased nominated Fazal Akbar of Qasimkhel tribe of Darra Adamkhel and his accomplices for the murder of his son. The city police registered the case and launched further investigations to arrest the culprits.
