Can someone tell me why these people were killed? Can someone tell me why a man would think that just because he was married to a woman that she should never be married again? Is this his "ghairat"? After reading this, is anyone surprised that the West stereoptypes us? That people have a bad opinion about Muslims and their attitude toward women? I am so upset right now! This makes me SICK!!
Six hacked to death near Sialkot (Dawn)
By Our Correspondent
SIALKOT, May 2: Six people were hacked to death in the Jakhar village in Badiana PS, Pasrur tehsil, 28km from here, early Tuesday morning. Shakila Bibi (32), daughter of Mohammad Ramzan, a landlord of the village, was married to Shahbaz about six months back but was divorced last month over a minor dispute.
As Shakila's parents were planning to remarry her, they were warned by her former husband against this. On Monday night Shakila was in her uncle Zafar Iqbal's house when Shehbaz and his seven accomplices, Mohammad Boota, Bushra Bibi, Abdullah, Abdul Razzaq, Ziaullah, Sughran Bibi and Mohammad Shafi, entered the house scaling the wall and slaughtered all the people.
Those slaughtered were Zafar Iqbal (40), son of Ghulam Ali; Razia Bibi (38), wife of Zafar Iqbal; Irum (12) and Sonia (14), daughters of Zafar Iqbal; Shakila Bibi and her brother Falak Sher (25).
The neighbours later informed the Badian police about the tragedy. The villagers staged a protest and demanded arrest of the killers. The bodies were handed over to the heirs after post mortem at the Pasrur civil hospital. The victims were buried in the village.
Punjab Governor Mohammad Safdar and provincial Finance Minister Shahid Hafeez Kardar have sought a report from the Sialkot district administration.
