Man killed in divine taxi drama Agents 'abducted Pakistanis'

Multan - In a fit of rage, a Pakistani father has slit his eldest daugher's throat because she married for love.

The man killed the woman in her sleep before killing his three other daughters in a remote village in Burewala, eastern Pakistan.

Police say Nazir Ahmad feared the three younger girls - aged four to 12 - would follow in their sister's footsteps.

Ahmad surrendered to police after the killings.

Pakistan police officer, Shahzad Gul said: "He (Ahmad) told us today that he has killed his daughters, and we arrested him."

Gul said Ahmad's eldest daughter, Muqadas Bibi, 25, had married the man of her choice against her father's wishes some weeks ago.

He said Ahmad had contacted Bibi this week, saying he was ready to forgive her.

However, when Bibi visited her parents' house, Ahmad slit her throat.

Gul added Pakistani police were investigating if any relatives helped in the killings.
