What happened: On the night of March 4, a man named Wali Khan, and his brother, Saddam, killed his former wife, Hanifa, and five other members of her family, including a six-year-old girl, in the Nawan Killi region of Quetta. Details: The woman’s mother, father, brother, sister, and another relative are among the dead, according to the police. Khan and Saddam allegedly barged into Hanifa’s house, whom he had divorced, and demanded custody of their son, according to sources. The mother refused him which led to a disagreement over the issue when the brothers opened fire on the entire family. The arrests: The two suspects allegedly fled the area after perpetrating the crime, but later, on March 5, SSP (Operation) Abdullah Qambrani confirmed that Wali Khan has now been arrested. He further claimed that police raids are being carried out in order to find his brother.
