KARACHI: A man allegedly gunned down his wife and sister-in-law, and injured his son over a domestic dispute in Machhar Colony on Monday, according to Docks police.

Saima, 24, and her sister Taslima, 20, were killed by Abdul Rehman alias Abdullah while the couple’s four-month-old baby sustained a bullet injury, said Docks SHO Waqar Kaiser.

The suspect managed to escape along with his other two wives.

The police officer said the infant sustained a bullet wound on his leg and was admitted to a private hospital for treatment.

The SHO said the couple used to quarrel over domestic issues quite often.

The victim was the third wife of the suspect. They had married around two years ago.
