MULTAN, Jan 31: A man and a woman were tied to trees and stoned to death for alleged charge of adultery by angry relatives in a Punjab village. Police said the couple, in their early 40s, were killed in a barrage of stones thrown by relatives of the woman in a central Punjab village on Sunday.

“It was a case of honour killing and we have arrested two brothers of the woman,” said local police chief Zafar Bokhari on Tuesday.

Mr Bokhari said the woman’s family was annoyed because of her alleged affair with a man from the same village and planned the murder with the help of other relatives.—AFP
