A pregnant woman and her husband were found dead in a canal with gunshot wounds to the head, a day after they were reportedly snatched by relatives following a dispute.
Police
told reporters on Sunday that Aqsa Shakeel, 26, and her husband, Muhammad
Shakeel, 30, were visited by a group of relatives at their
home in Thikriwala, a village in Pakistan's eastern Punjab province.
Police
said a heated argument broke out between the couple and the family
members, who included Aqsa's brother, named as Muhammad Mauvia, and her
mother, Majeeda Bibi.
Aqsa's family disapproved of the marriage, according to police, though no further details were given.
A
search for the couple was initiated when the husband's father, Muhammad
Kushi, reported the couple missing later Wednesday. Their bodies were
discovered in a canal near the village Thursday evening. An autopsy
report revealed that they had been tortured and shot in the head.
