FAISALABAD, Jan 8: A man with the help of his accomplice allegedly axed his teenaged niece and her lover to death in Chak 49-RB in Nishatabad police precincts on Saturday night into Sunday.

Razia, 17, was living at her uncle Riasat Ali's house where she developed an affair with Allah Ditta, of Chak 7-JB.

On Saturday night, Riasat found the two in compromising condition in his house. Apparently to preserve honour, Riasat and his nephew Rafiq killed the couple on the spot and surrendered themselves to the police.
