Fourth violent death in Bhutto family

 The seeds for the family's brush with tragedy were sown when Benazir's father and former Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was hanged on April 4, 1979.

Bhutto's end came after worldwide appeals for clemency were dismissed by the then acting President Gen Zia ul Haq.

The family was enveloped in tragedy within a year when Bhutto's brother Shahnawaz was killed under suspicious circumstances in France.

The killing of another brother Mir Murtaza in 1996 contributed to destabilising Benazir's second term as Prime Minister.
