Two Pakistanis jailed in Cyprus
Two Pakistani men were sentenced here on Thursday to 20 years behind bars for the brutal killing of a compatriot, Cypriot police said. A criminal court found the two men, aged 21 and 31, guilty of the manslaughter of a Pakistani political refugee whose head was nearly severed in a vicious attack at his Nicosia hotel room in March 2003. The accused were arrested just hours after the murder of Badar Mohiuddin Jilani, 48, who was stabbed to death. Police said the motive appeared to be a row over the payment of 6,000 dollars in âcommissionâ owed to the accused by the victim. Posted by: Fred 2004-05-14 |
