LAHORE, Pakistan (Christian Daily International–Morning Star News) – A Muslim in Pakistan killed a Christian co-worker on Monday (June 22) after telling him he could not drink water from a cooler used by other laborers, sources said.
Local pastor and rights activist Saleem Ghouri said Siddique Masih was a Catholic father of four children. He was 40.
Masih worked as a daily-wage brick loader alongside his elder brother, Rafique Masih, at various brick kilns in Pattoki Tehsil of Kasur District, Punjab Province. The brothers had gone to Ayyan brick kiln in Gohar Chak No. 8 village to load bricks onto a truck, Ghouri said.
“According to eyewitnesses, Siddique and a Muslim laborer identified as Ahmad Varyam had a brief argument over a wage-related issue,” Ghouri told Christian Daily International-Morning Star News. “The dispute appeared to have been resolved after other workers intervened, and both men returned to work.”
