Barbers kill man with scissors

Staff Report

LAHORE: Two brothers stabbed a youth to death on Sunday over a minor issue in the Shadhra area.

Khawar and Riaz, both barbers by profession, stabbed Muhammad Shafi with scissors at their shop. Sahif was 23-year-old.

Witnesses said the deceased a few days ago had told-off the two brothers for teasing the women who went past their shop. They exchanged hot words over the same issue on Saturday, but locals calmed them down.

The dispute erupted again on Sunday when Shafi went inside the shop to take bath. Both the brothers escaped from the scene after killing Shafi. The body has been sent for autopsy.
