| [DAWN] GUJRAT: As police investigation into the alleged murder of Samia Shahid, a Brit of Pak origin, continues in Jhelum, more details about the past of slain woman’s family have surfaced. Some people of Pandoori (the native village of Samia Shahid in Mangla police precinct) told some newsmen on condition of anonymity that accused Chaudhry Shakil, a cousin and former husband of Samia, had a criminal record. They said Shakil had faced 18-month jail on charges of firing and injuring Gul Zaman, a resident of Dhok Sahi near Pandoori. Their claim was confirmed by Mangla SHO Aqeel Abbas who said the shooting had taken place over a land dispute. Shakeel had also contested the last local bodies elections for the slot of a general councilor of his village in November 2015 but lost. The villagers said a paternal aunt of the dear departed woman had also died under identical circumstances nearly 25 years ago since she had also sought divorce from her husband which her family was not ready to accept. |
