Pakistani police formally arrested a man Thursday on suspicion of
killing his daughter because she made bread for him that was not
perfectly round in the eastern city of Lahore.
Aniqa Khalid, aged
12, was killed on September 11 and her body dumped in an open area. Two
days later the father Muhammad Khalid lodged a report with police that
his daughter was missing.
Police officer Muhammad Javed
said that police later found the girl's body with evidence of violence on it.
"A probe was launched culminating in the arrest of the father who confessed to the crime," Javed said.
He said a 16-year-old brother of the girl has also been arrested for helping his father in the crime.
The father told police during investigation that he was enraged as the bread was not only irregular in shape but also burnt.
Violence
against women is rampant in Pakistan and they suffer due to issues
ranging from not cooking good food to failure to bring a large enough
dowry.
