A court in Islamabad extended on Monday the physical remand of the main suspect in the Sara Inam murder case, Shahnawaz Amir, for three more days.
According to media reports, the case was taken up today by senior civil judge Amir Aziz. During the hearing, the investigation officer (IO) told the court that the passport of the deceased was yet to be recovered.
He further told the court that the passport would prove useful in finding out the victim’s travel history, among other important facts.
Furthermore, the counsel for the victim told the court that the victim was killed in Shahnawaz’s house, adding that the accused would be free if Sara’s passport was not recovered within 14 days.
As the judge approved the police and prosecution’s request seeking a three-day physical remand of the accused, he warned the investigators to ensure the investigation does not spoil the case.
Shahnawaz was arrested last month for allegedly killing his wife, a Canadian national, at a farmhouse located in Chak Shahzad where the suspect lived along with his mother.
