    Police in Pakistan said a woman and two of her daughters were found dead at a graveyard in Lahore.

    The discovery was made in Chan Shah graveyard in the Shah Bagh area of the city. A third girl was also found with injuries. She has been taken to hospital and police say once she is stable they will record a statement.

    A police official stated the woman's husband — who had married six times — was killed 15 days ago in Sheikhupura. He added that two of his former wives had confessed to his murder.
