Brother Kills Sister, 19, in Northern Afghanistan by Shooting Her with Father’s Gun

Using his father’s gun at home, an 11-year-old boy shot and killed his 19-year-old sister, according to local Taliban authorities in the northern Faryab province of Afghanistan.

The incident, according to the Taliban officials, took place on Friday, August 19, at the Khwaja Khwab Mosque area of the Andkhoy district of the Faryab province.

Local sources confirmed that this 11-year-old boy used his father’s gun, an Ak-47 (Kalashnikov) to shoot at his 19-year-old sister, who was killed when the bullet struck her in the head.

These sources state that the findings of their preliminary inquiries suggest that someone else is responsible for the murder, not the 11-year-old boy who materialized the act.

This mastermind prepared the weapon for use before handing it to the 11-year-old boy, who then galvanized him to shoot his sister.

However, according to the Taliban’s security sources, family violence was both the cause and the motive for the murder.

They steadfastly declined to offer additional information, stating that they are still conducting investigations with the hopes of discovering, locating, and apprehending the killer of this young girl.

Since the Taliban took control, domestic violence has worsened, and Afghanistan is currently seeing its highest rates of unemployment, and poverty. As a result, the number of homicides, suicides, and interpersonal conflicts has increased.
