A man shot dead his four-month-pregnant wife in Nawabshah after discovering from an ultrasound scan that the innocent soul she was carrying in her womb would be his fourth daughter.
Naeem, aka Raja Qazi, and Sawera married seven years ago after falling in love.
They each had three daughters. When Sawera became pregnant and the couple went to the doctor for a medical examination, they were told it was a girl.
The couple was having heated arguments on daily basis after learning about the gender of their expected child.
Today Naeem took a pistol and killed his wife and flew from the scene.
Police have attested his brother Sadam Qazi.
The body of the woman has been shifted to the hospital for autopsy.
