HYDERABAD: A man allegedly killed his 10-year-old brother-in-law to take revenge on his in-laws whom he blamed for an abortion his wife had a few months ago.

The deceased, Abdul Rehman Arain, who went missing on January 13 from Mirpur Mathelo, was found dead on Sunday evening in a waterway.

According to local police, Rehman's brother-in-law Imran Arain took him from the Kausar Colony area to the waterway where he strangled him before throwing his body in the water. The body was spotted by local residents who called the police.
