Honour Killing Story
born: 1996
stoned to death: 27. June 2020
Residence: Wadda Chachar, Jamshoro, Pakistan
Origin: Pakistan
Children: no
On 27 June, a mutilated corpse with serious head injuries was found on a highway in Pakistan, which the police identified as the body of the 24-year-old Waziran from the village of Wadda Chachar.
Sindh Police say that the woman's father, Gurl Muhammed, initially declared that her death was an accident, but that he later retracted that statement and assumed that she was murdered by her husband Allah Baks and his brother Kareem. There is video footage of the father screaming on his daughter's grave for justice for his daughter.
Police assume an honour killing in which Waziran has been pelted with stones and repeatedly beaten with a wooden stick in Jamshoro.
Both men have been arrested by the police and are now in custody. According to Allah Baksh, her own family is responsible for the stoning because they could not cope with her own choice to marry him.
A team of 3 policemen will investigate the murder further.
