[Pakistan] - Rapist-murderer raped and murdered at least 8
little girls with average age of 6 years old
It was only after the shock over Zainab that news emerged of
other children abducted and raped in Kasur. Amid the uproar, police
did testing on the victims and found the same DNA on eight of the
children, all but one of whom was killed. Police now say they are
hunting for a serial rapist-killer.
On Tuesday, authorities announced the arrest of a suspect in
Zainab's killing. The spokesman for the Punjab provincial
government, Malik Ahmed Khan, identified the suspect as Mohammed
Imran and said he was arrested near Kasur.
It wasn't immediately clear whether the same suspect is linked
to the deaths of the eight other children. After the announcement,
Zainab's father demanded in an interview with a local television
that the culprit be hanged.
Among the eight victims was 5-year-old Ayesha. Her father,
Mohammed Asif, said he pleaded with the police to find her after
her abduction last year.
"They had no interest. They were more interested in keeping it
quiet," he told The Associated Press. Her body, showing signs of
rape and torture, was found two days after her disappearance.
The sole survivor among the eight was a 6-year-old girl found by
a homeless man rummaging through a garbage bin outside a vegetable
market. She had been kidnapped for 15 hours, during which she was
tortured. Cigarettes were put out on her feet and legs, and she
suffered a serious head injury. Now at a hospital in the nearby
city of Lahore, she can't sit, hold up her head or speak, and her
father Mohammad Ahsan, says all she does is cry.
