Acid attack on girl for talking to boy

A Pakistani couple reportedly killed their teenage daughter by pouring acid on her after they caught her talking to a boy.

The parents of the 16-year-old confessed to police in Kotli, in Pakistan-administered Kashmir, that they attacked their daughter, said Mohammad Jahangir, a local doctor. “There were third-degree burns on her scalp, face, eyes, nostrils, arms, chest, foot and lower legs. Even her skull was exposed,” he said.
