Family Killed 'Over Marriage Row'

YAHOO! NEWS: A community is in mourning after a British husband, wife and daughter were gunned down in Pakistan when an arranged marriage ended in murder.

Father-of-six Mohammad Yousaf, 51, his wife Pervaze Yousaf, 49, and their 22-year-old daughter Tania, had left the UK to attend the wedding of a son in Pakistan surrounded by loving family and friends.

But they were shot dead just days after the happy ceremony while paying respects at a family graveyard.

Members of the devastated family, from Nelson, Lancashire, were being consoled by relatives. Tania's two young boys, Harris, aged nine months, and three-year-old Arien, were being looked after by relatives in Pakistan. >>> Press Association | Saturday, May 22, 2010
