Pakistan Family Murder Suspects Flee
A deadly family feud has led to two brothers going missing.
The pair are believed to have been part of a four-strong gang who shot dead a Lancashire family in Pakistan.
Police have said the suspects - understood to be both related to the victims - were initially released on "protective bail" but have since failed to attend court.
Mohammad Yousaf, 51, his wife Pervez, 49, and daughter Tanya, 23, were murdered at a cemetery near Gujrat on Thursday.
One of the gunmen was shot dead and another was arrested in the shooting.
The two suspects on the run, Naveed Arif and his brother Sheraz Arif, applied for protective bail over the weekend which means they cannot be arrested until they have had their case heard in court.
Now police in Gujrat are urging them to surrender after they failed to show up on Tuesday.
The killings are believed to have been triggered by a divorce between Mr Yousaf's son and a girl in the nearby village.
