GUJRAT: A 21-year-old daughter of a watchman was axed to death allegedly by her uncle in Noor Jamal village of Dinga police precincts on Thursday.

Altaf alleged in his complaint with the police that he had three daughters.

He said his daughter, Jaweria, was busy with household works when his brother, Muhammad Khan, arrived along with Amjad. He asked him to marry his daughter to Amjad or return the loan amount (of Amjad).

He said he did not accept the proposal as Amjad was already married. Upon his refusal, Muhammad Khan attacked Jaweria and hit her head with an axe leaving her in a pool of blood.

Both the suspects fled the scene.

Police said teams had been constituted to arrest the suspects.
