A court has given the benefit of doubt to Shahnawaz Amir – the prime suspect in Sara Inam’s murder – in a case of possession of a Kalashnikov firearm that was obtained illegally.
In its decision, the court highlighted the prosecution’s failure to prove the charges against accused Sara’s husband and son of prominent journalist Aya Amir, terming its evidence as “suspicious”.
Judicial Magistrate Umar Shabbir said that the benefit of doubt is the right of the accused.
“Appellant Constable Tariq was not produced as a witness,” the court noted.
It may be noted that the police have filed a separate case related to the recovery of a Kalashnikov from the suspect.
Currently, the final argument of the murder case against Shahnewaz is going on in the Sessions Court.
Last month, the prime suspect rejected all the evidence submitted by the prosecution against him, calling it “baseless”.
Amir was produced before Additional District and Sessions Judge Nasir Javed Rana, where he told the court that his mother had cooked dinner for them on the night of the incident.
“We all ate together, chatted a lot and then went to sleep. Sarah went to the bathroom in the middle of the night. I was asleep then. Woke up at 7 am and went to F-8 market for breakfast,” she said.
He added: “When I came back at 9am, Sarah was not in the room and on searching, I found her lying in the bathtub. When I saw Sarah, she was already dead.”
Sara, a 37-year-old economist, was murdered by her husband Shahnawaz with a dumbbell on Friday, September 23, 2022 in Chowk Shahzad area of Islamabad.
The suspect previously confessed to the crime and said he “thought” his wife was having an affair with someone else and killed his wife in self-defense.
