A Pakistani woman who gave her husband poisoned milk ended up killing him and 12 of his family when the tainted liquid was turned into a yoghurt drink and served to him and his relatives, police said. Thirteen people have so far died, including the husband, while a further 14 have been hospitalised, Ahmad said. “Police have arrested Asiya Bibi, a man and his aunt for being accomplices and charged them with murder,” Ahmad said. He said the man was allegedly Bibi’s lover and that his aunt helped hatch the murder plot. Forced and under-age marriages are common in deeply conservative Pakistan, particularly in rural and impoverished regions, where women have fought for their rights for decades.
