Three persons, including a woman, were killed in the village of Moula Bux Mastoi near Kandhra, taluka Rohri, on Wednesday.

Sono Mastoi had been suspecting that his wife Kaneez Mastoi had illicit relations with two youths of the area. First he shot dead his wife and then went to the house of Rano Bugti and Soomer Bugti and killed them.Police shifted three bodies to the Kandhra police station.

Neither the post-mortem of the bodies was carried out nor anyone was arrested.

The case was not registered till late Wednesday evening.

Our Mirpurkhas correspondent adds: A young girl and a boy were killed in the village of Naz Latif near Shahdadpur on Tuesday.

Some unknown killers shot dead Abdul Majeed Kaloi, 18, and Ms Rasheeda Brohi, 17.

Police shifted the bodies to a hospital which handed over the bodies to relatives after a post-mortem.

Abdul Kareem Kaloi, brother of Abdul Majeed, lodged a murder case with Shahdadpur police, alleging that his younger brother had been informed by girl's brother Kareem Brohi that his father Mohammad Sharif Brohi would kill Rasheeda Brohi and Abdul Majeed Kaloi because they had illicit relations.
