New Delhi: A 19-year old girl and her boyfriend were found murdered at the north-west Delhi residence of her uncle on Monday, with police suspecting it to be a case of honour killing.

Asha and Yogesh (21) were found dead with multiple stab injuries in the house on street number 3 of Swaroop Nagar area on Monday morning, police said.

The girl's uncle and other members of his family are untraceable since the incident, they said.

The incident came to light after neighbours informed the police on seeing the bodies in the premises of the house, they added.

"The bodies have been sent for a post-mortem. Prima facie it appears to be a case of honour killing as the girl had an affair with Yogesh. We are investigating the case," a senior police official said.

Both Asha and Yogesh were residents of Gokulpuri area of New Delhi.
