Unknown killers murdered a family consisting of a middle-aged couple and their two daughters in Rawalpindi, officials said on Tuesday.
The father of the house, Sikandar, has been identified as a former army officer currently working in a private medical university and hospital.

“The boy is under shock and unable to give the account of the incident”, the police officials said.
