The women's body said that they are concerned about the lives of the people and those children specially the three minors of the couple.
The killing of the couple took place in front of their two daughters.
What will happen to the children of the deceased and how the government is going to provide the necessary trauma counseling to the children and their other fundamental rights, the statement asked.
It further asked are the innocent children of the victims going to become orphans due to negligence of the state actors or should "we wait for the children to be snatched away by any group in the name of giving them protection.
