HAFIZABAD: A murder accused committed suicide after killing five members of his family and injuring two others over a minor issue at Shori Manike village on Monday.

Muhammad Mansha was in the jail in a murder case. In the meantime, his wife Batool with her three children came to the house of her parents and started living there. About two months ago, Mansha was released from the jail on bail. He asked his father-in-law Muhammad Bashir to send Batool back but he refused. On the day of the incident, Mansha came to the house of in-laws and allegedly opened indiscriminate firing. As a result, Mansha’s wife Batool, her father Muhammad Bashir, mother Jannat Bibi, brother Nasir and sister-in-law Fauzia were killed on the spot while his two daughters Kalsoom and Saima were injured. Later, the accused also ended his life by shooting himself. The injured were shifted to the Pindi Bhattian THQ Hospital but the doctors referred them to the Faisalabad Allied Hospital due to their critical condition. Police have shifted the bodies to the THQ Hospital for autopsy and started investigation.
