Three Christian brothers were shot dead at their home by automatic weapons a few weeks before two were set to have their weddings. The victims’ family (of 13 members) was earlier accused of trying to build a church on land they owned when they purchased building material to build a house on that land. The rumors about the building of a church spread during the Friday sermon at the mosque. Following the sermon, two thousand people stormed the land and tried to destroy the house, car and tractor, resulting in the murder of the three Christian brothers. A police report was made for the incident.
