PESHAWAR: Relatives shot dead three women in a lawless tribal area of northwest Pakistan after one of them left her husband, officials said Monday.

...

A 22-year-old woman from Karachi who married a ... shopkeeper about two years ago was accused of fleeing her husband's house and marrying another man in the northwestern Swat valley with the help of her aunt and cousin, a local administration official said.

The local tribal council or jirga intervened in the matter and decided on Sunday that the women should be killed.

Relatives shot the three dead at their house late Sunday night and buried them on Monday morning, he added.

“It is a case of honour killings and was settled under tribal customs where the Pakistani criminal code is not applicable,” the official said on condition of anonymity.
