OKARA: A man killed his wife in village 6/4L on Tuesday over suspicions of her alleged affair, according to police.

Suspect Shakil allegedly slit the throat of his wife Ammara, 27, at their home. The couple had been married for 10 years.

Renala Saddar police registered a murder case against Shakil on the complaint of Ammara’s sister Rabia Bibi.
