A woman and her alleged lover were killed apparently in the name of honour allegedly by the brother and a cousin of the slain woman, police said.<\/p>\n
The police arrested the suspects. <\/p>\n
Police said that the slain woman had been married off by her family against her will a few weeks ago. <\/p>\n
She could not bear to live with a man who she had not wanted to marry, and soon she walked out on him and returned to her home to live with her parents, police said. <\/p>\n
They said that the deceased had been in a relationship with one Ahsan Qasim before her marriage. <\/p>\n

Both of them wanted to get married, but the woman’s parents refused to allow her to marry Ahsan. <\/p>\n
Moreover, they forced the woman into a marriage against her wishes. <\/p>\n
However, the woman could not forget her lover, nor did Ahsan forget her, police said.<\/p>\n
No sooner had Sana walked out on her husband than Ahsan arrived in her village, called the Village 50 Northern, from Khushab, and the two started seeing each other once again. <\/p>\n
Relatives of the woman forced her into ending her relationship with Ahsan but to no avail.<\/p>\n
Police said that it was during their most recent rendezvous that the woman’s brother, Adil Pervez, and a cousin of hers spotted them, police said.<\/p>\n
They said that Adil Pervez allegedly shot her sister and her friend dead on the spot with the help of his cousin.<\/p>\n

According to a police spokesman, Sheikh Safdar, police arrested the suspects from the scene of the crime and also recovered the pistol allegedly used in the crime. <\/p>\n
The spokesman said that the incident of double murder appeared to be a matter of honour killing.<\/p>\n
The RPO of Sargodha, Shariq Kamal Siddiqi, took notice of the incident and asked the DPO for a detailed report. <\/p>\n
Police had registered a case on the complaint of Ghulam Mustafa, a brother of late Ahsan.<\/p>\n
