A woman was killed by her brother in Faisalabad on Friday.
Police said Zafar Ikram suspected his sister, 35, of having illicit relations with a man in the neighbourhood.
The deceased, a mother of two, had moved back to her parents’ house five months ago following a falling out with her husband.
On Saturday, police said Zafar Ikram scolded his sister.
When she spoke in her defence, Ikram attacked her with an iron rod.
The Garh Maharaja station house officer told The Express Tribune that she had injuries to her head, back and legs.
She was taken to a hospital where she succumbed to the injuries.
The Station House Officer said a case had been registered against Ikram on his father Sikandar Jugta’s complaint.
“Police are waiting for a post-mortem report...a team has been constituted to arrest the suspect,” the SHO said.

Yeah, it must be just a cultural thing, as there is no mention of a possible religious motivation.
