In a horrifying case of so-called honour killing, a man along with his relative brutally murdered his sister and her alleged lover in Faisalabad over suspicion of an illicit relationship, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Sunday.
The tragic incident took place in Chak No 111-GB, which falls under the jurisdiction of Chak Jhumra Police Station.
