Five people, three of them British nationals of Pakistan origin, were shot dead in Pakistan’s Gujrat city in a suspected honour killing over their son’s marriage, the police said on Friday. “The incident took place on Thursday. It was a family feud. There was some marriage dispute and it took an ugly turn,” a police official said.
Yousaf, 51, his wife Pervaze, 49, and their daughter Tania, 22, from Nelson in Lancashire, were gunned down five armed men as they visited a grave in a cemetery near the village of Jaurah in Gujrat in northeast Pakistan. “All three Britons, their host and an attacker were killed in a shootout,” the police official said.
Yusuf’s son was married to the sister of one of the attackers in Britain 12 years ago but their marriage broke down and led to a separation that caused rivalry between the families.
The Gujrat police said one of the attackers had been arrested while they were hunting for two others who were on the run. The couple and their daughter had been enjoying an extended holiday following the arranged marriage of their son. “I know the family well. This incident wasn’t just murder, it was an honour issue,” the Sun quoted Nelson councillor Mohammed Sakib as saying. “It was a family dispute that obviously went horribly wrong,” Iqbal, who sits on the borough council of Pendle, near to Nelson, said. “Yousaf’s son was married to a girl from Pakistan and there have been some problems with the marriage and that’s the dispute that’s happened.”
He said that two of Yousaf’s sons had returned early to Lancashire from Pakistan following the wedding but had flown back to the country after being told of the deaths, the Telegraph reported. British officials said they were working with the Pakistani police to investigate the incident.
