SUKKUR, July 22: Four women and three men were killed over the pretext of karo-kari in three separate incidents on Friday.

Two women and two men were shot dead in Fazal Haq Buledi village in the Miranpur Buriro near Garhi Khero, Jacobabad district.

Later, Kareem Bux surrendered at the Miranpur Buriro police station with the gun used in the crime. He confessed to have killed the four people and said that he had done so to save his honour as the two couples had illicit relations.
