EXCLUSIVE - First picture of Pakistan 'honour killing victim, 25, burned alive by husband and father-in-law because she left the house without asking permission'
this
story is scary for me so I decided to post it straight from source: Dailymail.co.uk
The heartbroken
brother of Pakistan's latest 'honour killing victim' - allegedly burned alive
because she left the house without permission - said he will set himself alight
if he does not get justice.
Shabana Bibi, 25,
from the Muzaffargarh district of the country, died in hospital on Saturday
after suffering burns to 80 per cent of her body.
Police have arrested
her husband Muhammad Siddique and father-in-law Pir Bakhsh.
Bibi's brother,
Muhammad Azam said Siddique became enraged on learning his wife had visited her
sister without first asking him if she could go out.
His father then beat
Bibi before dousing her with petrol on April 17, Azam alleged.
Bibi had been
married to Siddique for three years, during which time she had suffered
repeated domestic abuse because the couple couldn't have children, her brother
claimed.
Azam says police
have not provided him with a copy of the crime report despite repeated
requests.
I would set myself
on fire in front of the office of the district police chief if I did not get
justice,' he said.
District police
chief Rai Zameer-ul-Haq said: 'We have arrested the husband and father-in-law
of the deceased woman and charged them for murder and terrorism.'
The charge of
'terrorism' is regularly applied in such cases to quicken the legal process.
But Naseem, the
investigating officer, now says police have no doubt Bibi committed
suicide.
He said the police
investigation will end if three people from the area take an oath on the Quran
claiming Bakhsh is innocent.
He said police have
asked the men to visit the police station tomorrow so the oaths can be
made.
Hundreds of women
are murdered by their relatives in Pakistan each year through domestic violence
or on the grounds of defending family 'honour'.
