Honour killing: court sends victim’s father to jail for 14 days

An anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Saturday granted 14-day-long judicial remand to the father of Farzana Perveen, who was killed outside the Lahore High Court (LHC).

Mohammad Azeem, father of Parveen, was produced before the court on completion of a seven-day-long physical remand. The victim’s father, brother, cousins and her former husband were among the accused for her murder.

The ATC also ordered the police to complete and submit the charge sheet against the accused as soon as possible so that justice could be administered swiftly. The police also arrested two more accused in connection with the murder case of Farzana. The names of arrested have not been disclosed yet.

Twenty-five-year-old Farzana was beaten to death with bricks, after being shot in the leg, outside the high court building by her family for tying knot with a person outside from her family.

The hearing of the case has been adjourned till June 21.
