DI KHAN: A man reportedly killed his daughter and her boyfriend after he found them in a room inside his house in Kathar Yanwalla Mohallah early Saturday morning. A city police official said the father came to the police station following the incident and confessed to his crime. Abdur Rauf Khattak told the city police he woke up to go to the bathroom during the night when he saw a light switched on in one of the rooms. When he entered the room, he saw his 15-year-old daughter Sabina Bibi sitting with an unidentified boy. Seeing this, Khattak got furious and killed them both. Khattak said he suffocated the boy to death using a pillow and strangled his daughter using a rope. The boy was later identified as Asad Abbas, 20. Khattak is currently being held in a lock up at the city police station and a murder case has been registered against him.

Some people do not deserve to have children. Just like you need a license to drive a car, you should have a license to have children

Typical muslim response, Quereshi. You are more disappointed in a young man and woman having a tryst than their murder. Muslim values are backwards.

He has done murder so he should be punished. There is no doubt in that. But what is disappointing and sorrow is a man waking up to see his under-age daughter (15) in her room alone in his own home with a boy. Our society is going against our values.
