A father has been arrested in Pakistan on suspicion of the murder of his transgender child.
The child, known as Maya, had been staying with friends in refuge over fears the family would cause harm to the 19-year-old.
Police said the father was arrested after Maya's body was found with multiple bullet wounds on Saturday night near a river bank in a town called Nowshera in the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Police officer Azmat Khan said the father, Aurangzeb Akbar, had given officers written assurance that the teenager would not come to any harm.
Transgender people in Pakistan can be subjected to abuse and sometimes so-called "honour killings" by their families.
