RAWALPINDI:
A court has awarded double death penalty to a man who raped and killed his seven-year-old niece in 2019.
Handing down the verdict on Saturday, Additional District and Sessions Judge Masood Akhtar Kiyani also imposed a fine of Rs600,000 on the convict, namely Waliullah Khan.
The judge observed that the crime committed by the man was heinous and therefore the convict deserved no mercy.
At a previous hearing, the perpetrator had asked for a pardon from his brother Noorullah Khan, the victim’s father. The suspect had apologised to his brother in the courtroom for the crime but the victim’s father had turned down his request.
