The postmortem of a Pakistani woman killed for marrying the man she loved has established that she was five months pregnant, her stepson told Reuters on Wednesday.
Farzana Iqbal, 25, was stoned to death by her family outside one of Pakistan's top courts in the city of Lahore on Tuesday in a so-called "honor" killing.
"Her baby died in her womb," said Muhammad Aurangzeb, a son of her previous husband.
Honor killings are common in Pakistan, where women are often denied their basic rights. But the brutality of this case caused outrage around the world.
