A man in northwest Pakistan shot dead his former fiancée and nine of her relatives on Sunday, police said, six months after murdering his own parents and two brothers for refusing to pay his dowry.
The 25-year-old suspect, whom police named as Mir Ahmad Shah, was on the run after carrying out the predawn attack with an AK-47 assault rifle in the Charsadda district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
“He stormed the house and killed all ten family members while they were asleep,” Shafiullah Khan, a district police chief, told AFP, adding that two children and four women were among the dead.
Mr Khan said Shah was already a fugitive wanted for the murder of his parents and two elder brothers last year. His family had refused to accept a demand by the father of his then-fiancée for a residential plot as a dowry settlement.
Gulzar Khan, another police official, said that after murdering members of his own direct family, Shah became enraged at his prospective in-laws for making the demand. Full story...
