Publicly hang monsters raping & killing children, Maham's father appeals

KARACHI: Father of six-year-old Korangi girl Maham who suffered rape and then a horrifying murder late last month, wailed while talking to media ahead of his anti-terrorism court (ATC) court hearing Tuesday that the accused used to sit and dine with them, ARY News reported.

We did not know that among us lives a beast of a man, victim’s bereaved father Abdul Khaliq lamented as the detained suspect turned out to be a neighbor who enjoyed good relations with the victim’s family.

Khaliq said if they knew suspect Zakir, also a father of two and whose own daughter is just one-and-a-half-year older than the victim Maham herself, was such a monster, they would have kicked him out of the neighborhood.

I appeal to the law that such monsters be handed out public hanging sentences, the father said. He said that while the police have confirmed the DNA of Zakir matches the samples collected from the body, there’s a possibility that more evidence turns up.
