SUKKUR: A man gunned down his father-in-law and brother-in-law during a heated argument over his insistence on taking back his estranged wife in Khairpur on Wednesday.

Police officials said that when the suspect went to his father-in-law Mohammad Haroon Mahar’s house to bring back his estranged wife, she refused to go with him, leading to exchange of hot words.

They said that her father Mohammad Haroon and her brother intervened to stop the suspect who flew into a rage and killed the two with a handgun.

They said that they rushed to the crime scene after being informed of the incident and shifted the dead bodies to nearby hospital for medico-legal-formalities.
