A Brit boy has been shot dead while holidaying in Pakistan with his mum.

Adil Khan, 14, from Bradford, West Yorkshire, was reportedly shot dead while travelling with his mother.

The death of Adil Khan, from the predominently Asian Manningham area of the city, was said to have been at the centre of a missing persons inquiry in Pakistan in 2019 but was found safe and well.

His death was announced at 11.59pm on Saturday, November 19, by Janaza Announcements.

A post said: "A 14-year-old boy has been murdered In Pakistan while on Holiday. Adil Khan, AGE 14 has sadly passed away."

The nature of Adil's death has not yet been confirmed but he was reportedly murdered in the Asian country.
