Police said unidentified suspects opened fire on Shaheen at her residence in TTC Colony of Turbat. The killers escaped unhurt from the scene.<\/p>\n

She was shifted to District Headquarters (DHQ) Hospital Turbat where she succumbed to her injuries. She received three bullet wounds, police official Allah Bakhsh told DawnNewsTV.<\/p>\n

“The killing was the result of domestic violence,” Kech Superintendent of Police Najeebullah Pandrani said, adding that police were investigating the murder.<\/p>\n

Her body was shifted to her residence for burial, according to police.<\/p>\n

Balochistan government spokesman Liaquat Shahwani and Finance Minister Mir Zahoor Ahmed Buledi separately condemned the murder. They said the culprits in the case will be brought to book.<\/p>\n

Media watchdog Freedom Network in a tweet said it was “shocked” at Shaheen’s murder and called upon the Balochistan government to bring the perpetrators to justice.<\/p>\n
