Police said that Sidra was staying with her parents at their house after her divorce.
On Sunday morning, her bullet-ridden body along with that of 30-year-old Usman, belonging to Mandra, were discovered.
Upon receiving information about the incident, a police team reached the crime scene, with officials stating that the mother of the deceased woman informed them that her son Nazakat shot his sister and the man dead before making his escape.
