Otac otrovao porodicu zbog siromastva, zbog nekoliko stotina dolara duga:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/f ... 775926.stm.......Seeing what her husband was up to, Muzammil told me she cried out, asking how he could kill his own children, how he could do such a cruel thing.
He replied: "I've given them poison because if we die, they cannot live without us."
Then he said she must take it as well.
Muzammil did not swallow it. Instead she spat it out. That is how she survived the effects of the poison.
'Invisible' poor
After a few days in hospital, she is now in mourning for her daughters, and for the husband she says was always kind and gentle but weighed down by financial pressures and ill health.
"He never did any harm to anyone before," she said, speaking through tears. "He was so caring and loving. There was never any conflict between us."
But there was a serious disagreement with his family over a debt the couple could not repay. It was causing rows with Akbar's parents, the last one on the day he died. It was after this he came home and killed half the family.
The sum of money that cost so many lives was 60,000 Pakistani rupees. That is about $700 (£465). In death, as in life, Pakistan's poor are often invisible.
The story of Akbar and his family was front-page news, but suicides linked to poverty are often relegated to the back pages and marked by just a line or two.
