A pregnant woman in Pakistan and her husband were found dead in a canal with gunshot wounds to the head, according to authorities.
Aqsa Shakeel, 26, a healthcare worker, and her husband, Muhammad Shakeel, 30, were having family visit when they were allegedly kidnapped from their home in Thikriwala, a village in Pakistan’s Punjab province.
An argument broke out between the family and the couple, police say, because Aqsa’s family disapproved of her four-year marriage to Muhammed, who worked in a government school.
Aqsa’s brother, named as Muhammad Mauvia, and her mother, Majeeda Bibi, are believed to have been a part of the group who snatched the couple from the home on Wednesday.
Police began a search for the couple when Muhammed’s father, Muhammed Kushi, reported the couple missing.
Their bodies were later discovered in a canal near the village the following day.
An autopsy revealed the couple had been tortured before being shot in the head and tossed in the water.
