On February 18, Javed Baloch separated from his wife, Shaheen Bibi, due to a domestic dispute. Shaheen sought refuge with her father, Sharif Kumhar, in Dera Ismail Khan, a city in southwestern Pakistan, near Peshawar.
Shakeel and Aqeel, allegedly motivated by concerns of family "honour," are suspected of plotting to kill their sister. On the night of Tuesday, February 20, Shaheen was shot dead in her father's room by her brothers. In an attempt to cover up the crime, the brothers and their father buried the body that same night, trying to pass it off as a natural death.
The family's efforts to conceal the murder as a natural death were unsuccessful. Rumors in the neighborhood about Shaheen being shot prompted a police investigation, revealing the plot behind her murder.
