A man was axed to death, allegedly over an old enmity, in Gulab Khan Teno village near Sanghar on Thursday. The deceased, identified as 30-year-old Abdi Hussain Shar, was going home from work when three suspects attacked him and then fled. The police shifted the body to Civil Hospital Sanghar for medico-legal formalities and later handed it over to the family. Hussain’s father, Allah Warayo Shar, told the media that the suspects had attacked his son on the behest of influential persons, adding that the culprits had previously also lodged a fake FIR against his son, but he was acquitted by the court.
