DADU, Nov 15: A man killed his teenage sister-in-law and a boy of her age in Fatah Mohammad Kaboro village, 15 kilometres from here, on Thursday reportedly over suspicions they had illicit relations.

Dadu SSP Mohammad Usman Ghani Siddiqui said that Imtiaz Kaboro first the accused killed Ayaz Tagar, two kms from the village, and then went to the village to murder Sairan, 15, at her home and escaped.

He said that he had formed an inquiry team comprising DSP of city, SHO of Shaheed Makhdoom Bilwal police station and SHO of CIA centre to investigate actual reasons behind the double murder. Police were conducting raids to arrest the accused, he said.

Late Sairan’s father Mohammad Paryal Kaboro rejected accusations levelled against her daughter and said his daughter was innocent. He did not know why his son-in-law had murdered her, he said.

Late Ayaz’s father Faiz Mohammad Tagar said that his son had no enmity with the accused who had not yet been arrested. Imtiaz Kaboro was moving freely in the area and he had issued threats to him if he lodged FIR against him he would kill the entire family, he said. He called upon IGP of Sindh to direct police to arrest the accused and provide security to his family.

Police shifted the bodies to Dadu civil hospital and handed them over to relatives after autopsy.
