Shaheena Shaheen, a talk show host at state-owned broadcaster Pakistan Television and editor of a local magazine, was shot dead at her home in Turbat on Saturday evening.

Ahmad said Shaheen’s family suspected her husband of the murder.

Shaheen had a court marriage about six months ago and was living with her husband, according to the police.

This is the second woman journalist killed in Pakistan in last 10 months.

It was gathered that Shaheen was dropped off at a hospital in critical condition by two men who then left as doctors tried to save her life.

Police later learned that one of those men was the woman’s husband, Nawabzada Mahrab.

They said raids were being carried out to find and arrest the husband after being alerted by the woman’s uncle of his involvement.

Pakistan is considered to be one of the most dangerous countries for journalists.
