The incident took place in the Baist Khel area, within the jurisdiction of Sarai Gambella Police Station. Both bodies were moved to the District Headquarters (DHQ) Hospital in Lakki Marwat.
Lakki Marwat is a district in the southern part of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and its district headquarters hospital is the main public hospital for the area, where the bodies were taken for medico-legal formalities.
In cases of this kind, police record the statements of the victims’ family, register a first information report and begin a search for the suspect. The bodies are handed over to the family after the post-mortem examination is completed.
The report did not give further details of the dispute between the two brothers and their cousin, or say whether the suspect had been arrested. Further information, including whether a case has been registered, was not immediately available.
The account of the incident is based on the channel’s report, and the motive described in it has not yet been independently confirmed. Any official police statement would add to the picture of what happened.
Lakki Marwat town is the headquarters of the district of the same name, which lies in the southern region of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and borders the districts of Bannu and Karak. The district is largely rural, and its people rely on the district headquarters hospital and the local police stations for health care and law enforcement.
Lakki Marwat district, in Bannu Division, takes its name from the Marwat tribe, which forms a large part of its population. The district headquarters town sits on the road linking Bannu with Dera Ismail Khan, and much of the district is made up of villages and small towns spread across a dry, hilly landscape.
Once a case is registered in a murder investigation, investigators collect evidence from the scene, record the statements of witnesses and family members, and seek the arrest of the named suspect, while the post-mortem report forms part of the case file. The findings of the investigation determine whether the case proceeds to trial.
