Man Kills Niece over loud music

A teenage Pakistani girl has been shot dead by her uncle following a row over loud music.

The incident happened Saturday in the Kallar Kahar valley in Punjab province's Chakwal district.

"The girl Rehana Bibi was alone at her home and was listening to music when her uncle Muhammad Gulistan... came to her house and asked to lower the volume," Sadat Ali, an official on duty at Kallar Kahar police station, told AFP.

"On her refusal, they quarrelled and Gulistan shot her dead," said Ali, adding that Bibi was aged about 17.

Another police official, Ali Akbar, said they were attempting to arrest the killer.
