BADIN (Web Desk) – A man allegedly shot down his wife, mother of nine, in the name of ‘honour’ in the Jamshoro district on Tuesday.
According to local police, Ghulam Hussain Chowhan attacked his wife Zahida with spade killing her on the spot, Dawn reported.
The incident took place in the Lakki Shah Sadar Area of Jamshoro district.
The body of the slain woman was subsequently shifted to Sehwan Taluka Hospital for the autopsy.
Even so, the murderer later surrendered himself to police along with the blood stained spade, where he, according to the local police officials, confessed to the offense.
Chowhan told police that he killed his wife after suspecting her of having illicit relations with someone in the same vicinity.
Under the new law, relatives of the victim would simply be able to pardon the killer of capital punishment, but they would still face a mandatory life sentence of twelve-and-a-half years.
