| 2014-06-03 |
[AnNahar] Pak police investigating the murder of a woman bludgeoned to death outside a court have tossed in the slammerYouse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! five more men in connection with the brutal killing, a bigwig said Monday. Farzana Parveen was killed last Tuesday outside the High Court in the eastern city of Lahore by more than two dozen attackers armed with bricks, including numerous relatives, for marrying against her family's wishes. "We have arrested five more people in this case," Umer Riaz Cheema, a senior police official investigating the murder, told AFP. "With this the total number of the arrested people comes to 10 including Parveen's father. However, a clean conscience makes a soft pillow... the newly detained five men aren't among the directly accused killers," he said. Parveen's husband Mohammad Iqbal claims more than two dozen people were responsible for her killing. Parveen's two brothers, two cousins and a female relative are still on the lam. Her father, Mohammad Azeem, was detained at the scene of the attack, and a Pak court on Saturday remanded him in jug for a further seven days. Hundreds of women are murdered by their relatives in Pakistain each year in the name of defending family "honor". Police were apparently at the scene, but did not stop the mob killing Parveen, who was three months pregnant. Meanwhile, ...back at the alley, Bugs Moroni was holding Slats from behind while his brother Greasy Thumb was pounding his face into paste ... around four dozen human rights One man's rights are another man's existential threat. activists held protests in Lahore on Monday against Parveen's murder and urged the authorities to punish her killers in order to avoid future attacks against women. |
