A revenge killing in Pakistan's eastern Punjab province has left 11 members of the same family dead, police said.
Four women and three children were among those killed in Vehari, 60 miles east of Multan.
There were few details about the killing, but police said it appeared to be in retaliation for a killing several days earlier in the same village.
