LAHORE, Feb 21: Harbanspura investigation police claimed on Thursday to have arrested a man who killed his wife and a four-year-old daughter over a ‘property dispute’.

Naureen and her four-year-old daughter, Sumaira, were killed on Dec 13 last. Naureen’s husband Khadim Husain, a factory worker, told police he found bodies of his wife and daughter lying on the floor when he returned home from work.
