Man shoots 7-day old daughter for not being a boy

A Pakistani man Shahzaib Khan has killed his seven-day-old daughter in the city of Mianwali. Khan shot the baby four times with a pistol.

The second-year university student was angry that the baby – his first child – was not a boy.

Khan was said to have desired a male offspring as the first child and was disappointed when his wife gave birth to a female child.

According to Gulf Today Report, Khan married Mashal Fatima two years ago and wanted a son as his first baby.

On learning of the birth of a daughter, Khan stayed away from home and refused to accept the child.
