Agency Report<\/p>\n
Kindly share:<\/p>\n
Two teenage sisters were arrested in Pakistan for killing their father by setting him on fire in revenge for rape, police said Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The father was attacked in the Punjabi city of Gujranwala on January 1 and taken to hospital where he died on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe girls said that they decided amongst themselves to find a \u2018permanent solution\u2019,\u201d Rizwan Tariq, a senior police official in the city, told AFP.<\/p>\n
They then took petrol from a motorcycle and set their father on fire as he slept, he added.<\/p>\n
The pair, who are step-sisters, said their father had been raping the eldest girl for a year, and had twice attempted to rape the younger girl.<\/p>\n
Their mothers \u2014 who are both married to the man \u2014 knew about the abuse but did not know of the revenge plan.<\/p>\n
AFP has not named the man in order to protect the identities of the girls, one of whom is from a previous marriage.<\/p>\n
One of the wives has also been arrested while the second is being questioned.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe expect to present them before the court in a few days, as soon as we finish the investigation,\u201d Tariq\u00a0added.<\/p>\n
