According to Yaseen, the victim came to his house after the couple had a fight over their children.

    He said that Khalid came to his house on Friday night and took an oath by placing his hand on the Qur’an that he will never beat his wife again and wants to take his wife and children back home.

    Yaseen said that since the couple already had a fight so just to be on the safe side, he went with the couple along with some other relatives to ensure that the couple do not quarrel again.

    Yaseen said he slept on the roof at night, his sister in a room and Khalid in the courtyard.

    “At about two o’clock in the morning, there was a noise and we ran downstairs. I saw Khalid attacking my sister with an ax. My sister died on the spot due to severe injuries while Khalid saw us and fled the scene.”

    Yaseen said he is very poor and is a driver by profession, he is afraid that the police will suppress the case so he needs justice for his sister.
