A 30-year-old woman and two of her
children were beheaded overnight in Afghanistan’s east, Police said
they suspected the woman Serata’s divorced husband of barging into her
house in the capital of Ghazni province and murdering her, alongside
their eight-year-old son and nine-year-old daughter.
‘The
children saw the killer take their mother’s head off, so he killed them
too,’ a local policeman said, adding that the attacker had spared
Sereta’s two-year-old daughter. Activists say there has been a sharp rise in violent attacks on women in Afghanistan over the past year.
