SHO Allah Dino Panhwar said the cause of murder seemed to be personal enmity but the police are still not clear as to what happened. He said that the assailants were riding a motorcycle and escaped after killing the two persons in a commercial area.
According to him, eye witnesses told the police that the face of one of the assailants was covered but the second suspect's face was not. The families which received the dead bodies told the police that they do not have any known enemies.
