Suspected freedom fighters shot dead four people, including a couple, overnight in occupied Kashmir, where occupation troops killed three freedom fighters and seized explosives, police said Sunday.
Gunmen barged into the house of Farooq Ahmed Mirza, dragged him out and shot him dead in Lurgam village near the southern town of Tral, a occupation police spokesman said.
Mirza's wife pleaded with the gunmen to spare her husband and was also killed, the spokesman said.
He said the assailants chopped off the man's head and took it with them.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the killings, but the couple's close relatives had been linked in the past to counter-insurgency groups and pro-India political parties.
Five relatives of the couple had been killed earlier, police said.
Suspected freedom fighters gunned down two more in separate incidents in southern occupied Kashmir, occupation police said. The motive for the killings was not immediately known.
Indian troops shot dead three suspected freedom fighters during two clashes in the northern Baramulla district, in which two soldiers were injured, occupation police said.
