A man has shot dead ten members of his family, including his two wives and children, in southwestern Afghanistan, two local officials told dpa on Monday.

Habib Ilham, director of the media and culture department in Nimroz province, said that the crime occurred on Sunday in the city of Zaranj, near the Afghan border.

The victims included the suspected killer's two wives, four children and relatives of his two wives, officials said.

Doctors said one of the dead women was seven months pregnant.

On the other hand, Bahram Haq Mal, a spokesman for the provincial police, said that the suspected killer was called "Wais", and said that the crime took place in two different locations, and that the suspect fled the two crime sites using a car.

The police said that preliminary information shows that the husband wanted to marry for the third time after he fell in love with a girl, but he faced resistance from his two wives and was subjected to physical violence from his family.

Police added that Weiss warned that he would kill anyone who tried to stop him.
