BADIN, May 5 Three women were killed in different parts of the province late on Tuesday night and Wednesday.

A young girl Naseema was axed to death by her brothers when she failed to give them dinner in time in Jaghan Khoso village near Tando Bago late on Tuesday night.

Mithan Khoso and Shahoo Khoso attacked Naseema with an axe and killed her, according to Ali Hassan Khoso, another brother of the girl.

He lodged an FIR his brothers Mithan Khoso and Shahoo Khoso, accusing them of murdering their sister when she was cooking meal for them. They demanded meal while she was still preparing it and flew into a rage when she took some time, said Ali Hassan.

Later, Tando Bago police arrested the accused.

Meanwhile, the Badin chapter of the Human Rights Association condemned the incident and said many innocent girls were being murdered in the name of honour.

As compared to violence-infested tribal hinterland of upper Sindh, incidents of murder — and that too of a woman — rarely occur in Badin, Thatta, Tharparkar and other parts of peaceful lower Sindh.

Our Sukkur correspondent adds A woman was gunned down by her nephew in the name of honour in Ghous Bux Bhangwar village in the limits of Buxapur police station near Kashmore late on Tuesday night.

Allauddin Bhangwar suspected that his aunt Mai Shano Khatoon, wife of Najam Din Bhangwar, had developed illicit relations with a man in the area.

He barged into her house during night when her husband had gone out to irrigate land and opened fire on Mai Shano who was fast asleep.

Ms Shano died on the spot.

Police moved the body to local hospital in the morning and handed it over to her husband after autopsy. No case was registered till the filing of this report.

In another incident, a man killed his teenage sister in the name of honour in Raza Mohammad Khoso village in the limits of Tangwani police station on Wednesday.

Patoli, 14, was in her after-lunch nap when her brother Yasin Sabzoi killed her with a pistol.
