The murderers of as many as 100 women, who fell prey to domestic violence, honour killings and other brutalities in Lahore last year, are yet to be handed down punishments by courts, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
On the one hand, the prime suspect in the Noor Muqaddam murder case has been handed down death sentence. On the other, police are yet to even complete challans of the cases of all those women murderers who are still at large.
According to the police sources, 45 of the 100 women fell prey to different incidents of domestic violence, whereas, five of them were murdered in the name of ‘honour’.
DIG (Investigation) Shehzada Sultan expressed his lament over the killings of women and children whom he termed an easy target for the offenders. “Unfortunately, in most of such cases, murderers of women are their relatives. Therefore, owing to the technical inadequacies in the law, such cases end in reconciliation and culprits escape punishment,” he added.
