Man kills sister, brother in-law for 'eloping without family's consent'
According to police, her brother, Adnan, first tortured and killed her in a fit of rage over an argument on a mobile phone.
He was then taken into police custody where he confessed to having committed the crime.
Adnan said that he killed her with a dagger when she was asleep. He then proceeded to dump her body into the canal.
A case has now been registered against the suspect with an investigation underway.
Incidents of similar nature have become commonplace in the country with earlier this year a man took his sister's life as well as his brother in-law's in Mansehra for tying the knot without the family’s consent.
