One of the victims has been identified as Yaqoob, and both are believed to be around 25 years old.

However, police remain cautious in their assessment and are thoroughly examining the circumstances surrounding the deaths.

The discovery has sent shockwaves through the local community, raising concerns about the prevalence of honor killings and the need for stricter measures to combat this heinous practice. Authorities have urged anyone with information regarding the incident to come forward, stressing the importance of public cooperation in ensuring justice for the victims and their families.
