KARACHI: Attackers shot dead a lawyer and his two sons aged 12 and 15 in Karachi on Tuesday in a suspected attack, police said, the latest in a wave of violence.
The men, on a motorbike, gunned down high court lawyer Kausar Saqlain and his sons Owais Abbas and Mohammad Abbas as he took them to school.
"Apparently it seems a sectarian killing," Iqbal Mahmood, the Karachi police chief, told AFP, though he said the case was still under investigation.
Lawyers boycotted proceedings of the provincial High Court on Tuesday to mourn and condemn the death of Saqlain and his two sons.
"We strongly condemn the killings of our colleague and his two sons and we called off activities at the court," said Mustafa Lakhan, president of the Sindh High Court Bar Association.
