PESHAWAR, March 10: A woman and her son were killed by three people in Chamkani here on Saturday night.

Both Naseem and Omar were at Irfan’s house when three close relatives of divorced woman, Niaz Ali, Murad Ali and Tariq entered the house and opened fire at Nasim and Irfan, injuring both of them critically. Both of them were taken to a local hospital but expired on the way. Chamkani police have registered a case and are investigating.
