Two Afghan women stoned, shot to death

A MOTHER and her daughter have been killed in Afghanistan for what has been described as moral deviation and adultery. Conflicting reports say they were stoned and shot to death.

The deaths and arrests of two men happened on Thursday in the Khawaja Hakim area of Ghazni City in Ghazni Province in eastern Afghanistan, where security is to be transferred to Afghan personnel by Nato as part of its plan to withdraw forces from the country by 2014. The scene of the killings is some 300 metres from the provincial governor’s office and the police chief’s office, the BBC reported.

Local police chief Zilawar Zahid said: “They were killed inside their house. An investigation is under way to find out why they were killed and Afghan police have arrested two men in connection with the case.”   More Read
