There has been more confusion in the honour killing case which has caused uproar in Pakistan.

Post mortem reports on the bodies of two Pakistani women widely reported to have been among a group who were buried alive after attempting to elope with men of their choice, have concluded that they were bludgeoned to death.

The bodies were found in the country's Baluchistan province, in the village of Naseerabad.

Although the exact circumstances remain unexplained, the incident has caused an impassioned debate within Pakistan about the practice of law in remote tribal areas.
