The officer, Murtaza Marri, of the directorate of public relations, was going to his office with his banker father Abdullah Marri in his car when gunmen on a motorbike opened fire from a close range, killing both of them on the spot. Police said the motive behind the murder could not be ascertained, but a case had been registered.
