A man on Thursday killed his 19-year-old daughter allegedly in name of honour and committed suicide afterwards in Sector G-8/4.
According to the details, the 60-year-old father shot his daughter, Aleena at around 6am. The neighbours heard shots fired early in the morning and reported the incident to the police. Police knocked down the main door of the house and found both father and daughter dead.
Aleena was shot in the chest whereas the man later fired the weapon right below his ear.
According to the police, the case seems to be an incident of honour killing. However, the police have started investigations into the matter after shifting the bodies to Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) for autopsy.
This honour is a form of mental illness. A book has been written on neuroscience of religious experience which may shed light on such behaviour.
Extreme belief systems, based on tradition or faith, leading to murder might have basis in illness.
Don't blame religion, blame the guy who pulled the trigger.
