An additional sessions judge (ASJ) here on Friday handed down death sentence to a man for killing his mother-in-law over a domestic issue about two and a half years ago. ASJ Rana Masood Akhtar sentenced Muhammad Ikram to death, who killed Kalsoom Bibi in the Waris Khan Police area on November 2, 2005. The convict will have to pay Rs100,000 as fine and in case of non-payment, he will undergo one year imprisonment.
"Yez killed yer mother-in-law, Moe. That's the death sentence in these here parts!"
"Everything around here's the death sentence!"
"No, it ain't! Some things are the death sentence and a Rs100,000 fine! This is one of 'em!"
"You're gonna hang me! Why should I pay a Rs100,000 fine?"
"'Cause if you don't, it's a year in jug!"
"Before or after you hang me?" |
