| SC upholds life sentence in honour killing case |
| 2016-03-06 |
| [DAWN] The Supreme Court maintained on Friday a Lahore High Court judgment of sentencing a man to life in prison for killing his daughter in the name of honour in 2005. The man had injured his wife and two other daughters as well. The LHC had on May 2, 2013, converted the death sentence awarded to Mohammad Zaman by an additional sessions judge Lahore on July 28, 2007, into life imprisonment by holding that although the accused was found guilty of committing the crime, it was not on case record what circumstances had led him to kill his daughter Kauser and injure wife Husna Bib and two other daughters Kahkashan and Komal. The case was reported to Lahore’s Mughalpura cop shoppe by the man’s fourth daughter Kiran Zaman. |
