| Nadeem Haider Shah, the complainant of the cold-blooded mass murder at Fayyaz Park in Mughalpura, was also murdered on Saturday. Nadeem Shah was lying injured on the Dyal Pulley when passing villagers found him bleeding to death but semi-conscious, his wrist slashed. They were taking him to the nearest hospital but he died on the way and the panic-stricken local yokels left Mr Shah by the road and fled from the scene. Chaudhry Shafqat Ahmad, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Investigation Wing said that Nadeem Shah was depressed after his brother’s burial. He left his house by car and reportedly drove around aimlessly. He then visited his in-laws at Baghbanpura and returned with his wife and children. When he dropped them all home he left the house again without giving anyone a reason. Nadeem’s wife became so anxious that she fainted and his aunt took her to hospital. When Nadeem returned his relatives told him about his wife and he left the house once again. That was about the time he was murdered, the SSP said, between 5:30 and 7pm. The SSP said Nadeem’s brother-in-law told police that both the murdered brothers had an old enmity in their hometown in Manawala, Sheikhupura. On Friday, unidentified assailants shot five members of Nadeem Shah’s family including a year-old baby and their seven-year old maid in Fayyaz Park in Mughalpura. The intruders shot them once each in their heads after binding their hands and feet with masking tape and gagging them with it too. Police said silenced pistols were used. |
