Published February 14, 2008

OKARA, Feb 13: A man axed to death his daughter and her lover in 32/2-R village near here late on Tuesday night.

Akbar of Sahiwal’s Bhutto Colony, who pretended to be a spiritual healer, used to visit frequently Ilm Din’s house in 32/2-R village. During this period, he developed illicit relations with Din's divorced daughter.

Akbar arrived at Din's house on Tuesday and later slept in his room at night. At about midnight, Din woke up and saw that his daughter was not in her bed. He went to Akbar’s room where she was lying with him in a compromising position. On seeing this, Din lost his senses, attacked the two with a sharp edged weapon and separated their heads from their bodies. —Correspondent
