NAROWAL: Police on Sunday arrested the killer of a student of class 10 who was found dead of gunshot wounds a month ago here in the city.

According to police, Narowal resident Adnan and Ayesha, a student of class 10 who hailed from Sialkot, had gotten married by choice more than a month ago. However, he shot her dead just 15 days after their wedding and threw her body in the vicinity of the city's Saddar police station.
