A local court in Islamabad discharged on Tuesday senior journalist Ayaz Amir from the murder case of his daughter-in-law Sarah Inam.
\nAs per media reports, Shahnawaz, Ayaz Amir’s son, allegedly killed his wife Sarah at home after a row over a “family issue” on September 23.
\nHe was detained by the police from a farmhouse in Islamabad’s Chak Shahzad area for being a suspect in his wife’s murder and later confessed to killing her, saying he “thought” his spouse was having an affair. The couple was married for just three months.
\nOn Saturday, a trial court approved the arrest warrants of Ayaz Amir and his former wife Sameena Shah, as the two were nominated as suspects by Sarah’s family. Amir was arrested while his former wife later acquired pre-arrest bail.
\nIn the police report registered following the murder, an additional clause of Section 109 of the Pakistan Penal Code was added at the request of Sarah’s uncles Colonel (retd) Ikram and Zia-ur-Rahim who have blamed Ayaz Amir and his former wife for their niece’s murder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
