Pakistan hangs rapist-killer of six-year-old girl
Pakistan’s government hanged a man yesterday for raping and murdering a six-year-old girl. Imran Ali, 24, who was arrested after Zainab Ansari’s body was found in a garbage dump in Kasur, more than 50 km away from Lahore, was executed in Kot Lakhpat jail, Lahore, at 5.30 am.
Officials handed over Ali’s body to his family for the last rites to be performed in Kasur. The incident that shook the nation began on January 4, when Zainab left her house for Quran studies at a madrassa nearby. Her parents were away in Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah, leaving her under the supervision of her aunt.
