A police spokesman said Imran Baloch, a labourer, was unhappy at the birth of his second daughter, 35 days ago.
He said Baloch often quarrelled with Hameeda Bibi, his wife, after the child was born. He said on Thursday, he again quarrelled with her and slit her throat. The spokesman said he also attacked his two-year-old daughter. The woman died on the spot and the child was rushed to DHQ hospital in a serious condition.
The child was later referred to Nishtar Medical Hospital in Multan. The police said Baloch fled from the scene after attacking his wife and daughter.
Khanewal city police have sent the body of the woman to hospital for post mortem and started investigation.
