Raymond Davis' victim's wife killed by father

[ashokdeiva]

The wife of one of the victims of CIA contractor Raymond Davis was murdered by her father at their residence in Lahore on Monday over her plans to remarry. He also killed her mother following the dispute, purportedly not just over their daughter's plans to remarry but also the blood money that the U.S. paid her to secure the release of Mr. Davis.

Police said Zahra, widow of Faizan Haider, and her mother, Nabeela, were shot dead by her father, Shahzad Butt, at their residence. He apparently wanted Ms. Zahra to marry Faizan's brother while the women were against that marriage. There were also rumours that Ms. Zahra had secretly married another man about a month ago and her father got to know about it only now, resulting in the dispute.

BLOOD MONEY

Speculations were rife that Mr. Butt was against Zahra marrying outside the family because he wanted the sizable amount of money that was paid to Faizan's family members as blood money to remain within the closed circle. Affidavits filed by the families of the victims of Mr. Davis on March 16, 2011, before his release showed that a total of $2.3 million had been paid to the two families.

Mr. Davis had gunned down two Pakistanis in broad daylight in a busy crossing of Lahore — reportedly in self-defence — towards the end of January 2011, resulting in a major stand-off between the U.S. and Pakistan that stretched on for a month-and-a-half.

The society we live in is becoming to much money/material minded and we do not give freedom of choice for individuals and we enforce our ideas on others which ends like this bloody situation.
I think we Asians especially INDIANS and Pakistanis have to grow away from the conservative mentality that we have cultivated so far.

This family had no morals to begin with, took money for the murder of their child.

we can not say that, as the sole bread winner of the family is dead. They had no choice but to go for a compensation. But a suomoto case should have been taken up by the SC of Pakistan to punish Davis. But SC just sat aside.

On topic - Money is making man too vulnarable pray for greed, and the end result is murder.
