A credible local source in Khost province reports that a young man was stabbed to death in the Garbaz district following a verbal dispute with his cousin.
According to the source, the incident occurred late on Sunday, November 1, in the "Sahra Aka" village of Garbaz district. The victim was identified as 28-year-old Abdul Rahman.
The source added that Abdul Rahman was a pharmacy graduate and had engaged in a verbal argument with his cousin over family problems. The argument escalated into a physical altercation, during which his cousin stabbed him multiple times, leading to his death.
Local Taliban government officials in Khost province have not yet officially commented on the murder or its motives. The identity of the alleged perpetrator has also not been disclosed.
Killings resulting from domestic violence, personal feuds, and land disputes constitute a significant portion of the criminal offenses reported daily from various provinces across Afghanistan.
Rising poverty, unemployment, and easy access to weapons are cited as factors contributing to the increase in criminal activities in the country. Local residents are calling on security institutions to take more serious measures to prevent such incidents.
