A sessions court has handed a man four death sentences and a fine of two million for killing his mother and three sisters in an 'honour’ crime.

The judgment, delivered by Additional District and Sessions Judge Sajjad Hussain Khan Baloch, declared Abbas Amrana guilty in connection with FIR No. 600/24 lodged at Kabirwala Saddar Police Station, Khanewal. 

Alongside the main suspect, the court also convicted co-accused Usman Chawan, sentencing him to five years in prison for aiding Amrana in the offence.

The killings took place on June 21, 2024, according to the case record, when Abbas allegedly shot his family after spotting one of his sisters sitting on a cot with a  man from the village. 

When his mother and other sisters refused to intervene, Abbas allegedly became enraged, grabbed his landlord’s rifle, and opened fire, killing his mother and one sister on the spot. 

He then chased down his two remaining sisters, who were working in the nearby fields, and fatally shot them as well.
