As the Sarah Inam murder case reached a pivotal phase, plaintiff lawyer Rao Abdul Rahim while concluding the arguments prayed to the court for the death penalty for the accused, Shahnawaz Amir.
At the outset of the hearing, Rahim asserted the credibility of documented evidence over potential discrepancies in eyewitness accounts, underscored the compelling nature of testimonies and evidence that collectively cement the guilt of the accused.
Under the purview of Sessions Judge Nasir Javed Rana, Rahim meticulously presented key elements from the forensic report, unveiling critical details found on the accused's mobile phone.
Among these revelations were two haunting photographs—one depicting the victim and the other revealing the alleged murder weapon, a dumbbell. Further incriminating evidence emerged as details of Sara Inam’s body, marked by injuries and a broken bone, were corroborated by post-mortem findings confirming that all injuries were sustained prior to her death.
Highlighting the forensic report’s findings, the counsel of the plaintiff emphasized that a divorce decree had been communicated via WhatsApp, adding a layer of complexity to the case.
Prosecutor Rana Hassan Abbas bolstered the case by pointing out the deletion of three crucial messages in the chat history between the victim and the accused, potentially linked to discussions about divorce.
The gravity of the proceedings intensified as Samina Amir Shah, the accused’s mother, delivered a chilling testimony, implicating her son in the murder. Furthermore, the damning evidence of bloodstains discovered on Shahnawaz Amir's shirt and hands at the crime scene added weight to the allegations against him.
Amidst the tension-laden courtroom atmosphere, the judge acceded to the lawyer's plea and adjourned the hearing until Monday. This pause in proceedings marks a pivotal moment in the trial, leaving the outcome suspended while legal teams gear up for further arguments and revelations in the pursuit of justice in the Sara Inam murder case.
