[DAWN] In another trial held inside a prison, an Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) on Monday handed Imran Ali ‐ who is currently incarcerated and on death-row for the rape and murder of six-year-old Zainab Amin ‐ the death penalty on five more counts for the rape and murder of two other girls.Ali, a resident of Kasur, was involved in at least nine incidents of rape-cum-murder of minors, including Zainab, which he had confessed to during her murder investigation. ATC Judge Sajjad Ahmad Sheikh handed down the penalty judgement after the prosecution established the role of 24-year-old Ali in the rape and murder charges framed in cases 352/16 and 188/17. In case 352/16 registered in April 2016, he was sentenced to one count of death, two counts of 25 years of rigorous imprisonment, one count of two years RI and one count of one year RI under PPC Sections 376(3), 364-A, 337-A(1), and 337-F(1), and Anti-Terrorism Act Section 7(c). He was also ordered to pay a fine of Rs1,500,000 and Rs75,000 under daman (compensation determined by the court to be paid by the offender to the victim for causing hurt not liable to arsh, the compensation specified for offences relating to various kinds of hurt). Failure to pay the fines will result in an additional six months of imprisonment. Posted by: Fred 2018-08-08 |
