BADIN: A man allegedly stabbed to death his estranged teenage friend while the latter was busy working in fields along with his family members in Abdullah Shah village near Matli on Tuesday.

Sohnu Kolhi told police that his 16-year-old son, Vijay Kumar, was stabbed to death in front of him and other family members. He alleged that Ali Haider was accompanying Chandio. He also stated that his son, a class-X student, was killed at the behest of Soomar Chandio, but could not explain a motive behind the murder.

Tando Mohammed Khan SSP Ghulam Shabbir Sethar has directed the Tando Ghulam Haider SHO to register an FIR against the three suspects.

A large number of people belonging to the Kolhi community, along with the affected family, held a demonstration on Badin-Hyderabad Road and kept it blocked for two hours demanding arrest of the killer and his associates.

The SSP said it seemed to be an honour killing case but an investigation would be conducted from different angles.
