Newly-wed Lahore couple killed over ‘honour’
A young couple was brutally murdered after their love marriage in the Kot Lakhpat area of Lahore on Friday.
The victims, identified as 20-year-old Izhar and 17-year-old Benish, were residents of Gilgit-Baltistan and had been living in a rented flat on Chand Rai Road in Lahore.
They had tied the knot against the wishes of their families a few months ago.
According to an Edhi spokesperson, the couple was subjected to severe violence before being killed.
They were found with their throats slit, a horrific sign of the brutality they endured.
Following a police investigation, Edhi volunteers transferred the bodies to the morgue for further procedures.
The police have initiated a detailed investigation to uncover the culprits and motives behind the double homicide.
