Hundreds of Christians in Quetta, Pakistan have attended the funerals of two of their number who were killed near a church on Sunday by four gunmen on motorcycles.

The victims were Azhar Masih and Rohail Masih, who were residents of Essa Nagri which houses a large proportion of the Christian community there.

The murders have been claimed by Islamic State.

A Christian who attended the funerals named as N Samuel told Evangelical Focus: 'The whole Christian community attended this funeral, they are so afraid and feeling insecure.' The Christians in the city, he said, 'demand the government to protect churches and Christian community houses'. He added that one of those who died was the only son in his family and had taken care of his paralysed father.
