A man chopped to death his 22-year-old wife with a dagger while she was asleep in Larkana city in a so-called honour killing incident, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Sunday.

The accused’s wife, Amna, went to her parents house for a few days which led to a heat verbal fight between the two. 

But unfortunately, when she returned home, the accused picked up a dagger and murdered his wife while she was in her sleep.

Perhaps, the accused did not have the moral courage to talk and settle the things like it ought to be done. But he chose the coward’s pathway and killed his wife in her sleep. 

The body was shifted for post-mortem to the Chandka Hospital, Larkana.

The accused is at large while the Police party launched a search operation.
