LAHORE MIRROR — A district and sessions court in Islamabad on Thursday awarded accused Shahnawaz Amir death sentence in Sarah Inam’s murder case.
A penalty of Rs1 million was also imposed on the accused. Sessions Judge Nasir Javaid Rana delivered the verdict which was reserved last week on December 9.
However, the court acquitted the Shahnawaz’s mother, Samina Shah, due to lack of evidence. She was indicted in December last year by the sessions court and was named co-accused in the case.
The proceedings of the case lasted for more than a year and three different judges conducted the hearings. Additional Sessions Judge Islamabad Muhammad Atta Rabbani and Azam Khan also heard the murder case.
Sarah, a 37-year-old economist, was allegedly murdered with dumbbells by her husband Shahnawaz Amir, who is the son of journalist Ayaz Amir, in Islamabad’s Chak Shahzad area on September 23, 2022.
