Pakistan girl burnt to death for refusing marriage proposal

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

Islamabad: In a horrific incident, an 18-year-old Pakistani girl was burnt to death after being doused with kerosene by her jilted lover for refusing his marriage proposal, the latest case of violence against women in the country.


The girl was set on fire in Naushahro Feroze district of Sindh province on Monday by Sajid Qureshi, a cloth merchant, after his marriage proposal was refused more than once by the girl's mother and brother.

Sajid, who was reportedly drunk, yesterday broke into the girl's house and tried to assault her. The girl resisted and started screaming for help. The accused then threw kerosene oil on her, set her on fire and fled, police said.

The girl was rushed to the Taluka hospital, where the doctors said that 60 to 65 per cent of her body was burnt.

The victim was later shifted to a hospital in Karachi but succumbed to her injuries, Samma TV reported.

Police, on the complaint of the girl's brother, has lodged an FIR against Sajid and arrested him.

The man in question lives adjacent to girl's house. The accused allegedly broke into their house and threw kerosene oil on the girl and put her on fire, Station Head Officer Asad Nabi Khichi said.

Sounds like a catch, i winder why she didn't wanna take him as her husband. He should be forced to pay for her for the rest of her natural life.

the brother wasn't there when the lady was burning... so how did he know that it was the same man??

what about the lady's statement... didn't the police record that... didn't any doctor record that??

can this be a case of "honor killing"?? south asia is champion in that after all.

This is a South Asia specific problem. It is really revolting - I wonder how long before the males in our societies get their act together.

 

[jamahir]

after his marriage proposal was refused more than once by the girl's mother and brother.

this is significant.

until the accused admits to the crime, the police should investigate for "honor killing".

RIP girl.

 

[Gunsnroses]

Either a straight case as written or fishy which it seems. Rip for nothing.

HANG HIM, TRY HIM IN MILITARY COURTS (if only we could)

Sad, RIP sister.

This savage needs to burned to death and meet the same end.

What's the point of posting Pakistan's non-political, internal news on this forum? It serves no purpose whatsoever.

 

[Paksanity]

Plain madness... So so tragic. RIP. My respects to her courage for standing up and resisting this animal....

the brother wasn't there when the lady was burning... so how did he know that it was the same man??

what about the lady's statement... didn't the police record that... didn't any doctor record that??

can this be a case of "honor killing"?? south asia is champion in that after all.

??!!

 

[jamahir]

??!!

from the op, i don't see any mention of the lady's statement recorded by the police or doctors, so how was the accused person found guilty... only through the brother's statement, yes?? but he didn't seem to be at home when this attack supposedly happened.

and it was the brother and mother who were not agreeable to the accused man marrying the lady... can you be sure that the lady liked the accused man but wasn't being allowed to marry him by her brother and mother?? can you be sure that this wasn't a case of "honor killing"??

maybe i am overthinking this but we should look at that possibility.
