Minister's murderer believes women can't rule over men

Muhammad Sarwar, the killer of Punjab minister Zil-e-Huma, believes that women cannot rule over men and he shot the young woman minister due to her increasing popularity among the people, sources in the Punjab Police told Daily Times on Wednesday.

The sources said that Sarwar belonged to the Ahle Hadith sect and had his own interpretation of Islam.

Sarwar told interrogators he was fired by a passion to purge society of women who defy Islamic customs, police sources told AFP. I have no regrets. I killed her out of the conviction that she was leading an un-Islamic life and spreading an evil influence on other women, Sarwar told interrogators in custody, according to a police source.

The sources said that Sarwar owned a hardware shop in Gujranwala and has nine children four sons and five daughters. They said that Sarwar had ordered his wife and daughters to stay at home and veil their faces. They added that Sarwar was previously arrested in 2002 for murdering four prostitutes, but had been acquitted due to lack of evidence. Punjab Law Minister Basharat Raja has directed the prosecution secretary and the prosecutor general to assign a special prosecutor with the police team investigating Humas muder for technical assistance.

Wonder if the Pak Supercops will be able to come up with enough evidence for a conviction...

#1 With nine children to care for and no husband, Mrs. Sarwar is going to have to unveil her face and leave the house to run the shop, or all Mr. Sarwar's children will have to choose between starving and being sold into slavery.

#2 You're assuming he'll be convicted TW. And even if convicted, why to assume that the same (kind of) people (term used for purposes of reference) who take care of the families of Paleo self boomers won't take care of his family?

#3 He'll be convicted.
The victim was a "neta" - a politician, which in Pak means a member of one of the powerful feudal families that control the economy and the army.
Killing a "neta" or a powerful "babu" (a civil servant) is one sure way of going to the gallows.

#4 Yes, IIUC, his previous get-out-of-jail cards were because he killed and mutilated prostitutes.
