Corpses Found In A Box: Dead Couple Victim Of Honour-Killing: Police
* Police suspects girls brother behind murder
* Girls parents refuse to accept body
By Ali Waqar
LAHORE: Police have said that the two corpses found in a box near the Expo Centre at Johar Town last Monday were those of a couple in love, murdered by the girls brothers.
Talking to Daily Times on Friday, police officials said that the prime suspect of what they called an honour killing was still at large.
The bodies were found on Monday afternoon after local residents complained of a stinking box that possibly had a corpse in it.
Identified as Umar, 29, son of Muhammad Iqbal, from Mian Hakam (a village in the Vehari disrict) and Jannat, 25, daughter of Ahmad Yar from Ghulam Bhatti Colony (in Kot Lakhpat), the couple in love were cousins.
The bodies were not identified until Tuesday and were handed over to the relatives after autopsy. Umars father received his body, while Uzmas parents did not receive her body. It was handed over to her maternal uncle.
The first information report (number 415/ 07) was lodged on Tuesday. The complainant was a local resident, Muhammad Iqbal, police officials told Daily Times.
Umars father, also named Muhammad Iqbal, contacted the police later on Tuesday and became a complainant.
Police said Jannats brothers had killed the couple and put their dead bodies in a box, which they kept in their house for two days until it began to stink. They loaded it on a donkey-cart then, police said, and threw it in on the roadside in Johar Town. Some passers-by saw them, however, police said. They said the witnesses included the first complainant, Muhammad Iqbal.
Sub Inspector Muhammad Ishaq, the investigation officer, told Daily Times police were carrying out raids to arrest the suspects. He hoped they would be arrested in two days.
A monthly report by the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) published recently in an Urdu magazine cites 36 honour killings in various parts of the country. Twenty-eight of the victims were women. The report gathers data from national newspapers.
CAIR and the democrat party mainstream media will of course criticize these murders, so common in islamic nations.
There are 1 Billion stories in the ROP, this has been one of them.
Still another reason for never recognizing any legitimacy for shar’ia law.
Anywhere.
The one-eyed logic that “justifies” this sort of honor killing, moves along a track that ignores anything but the most selfish of motives, satisfaction of the cravings of an unrepentant and totally self-absorbed overgrown infant.
Saying that these people belong in even the 7th Century is being too generous.
Remember, folks, Islam is a Religion of Peace/s
Sure I believe that!

I know many here might have a negative reaction to this story, but it's important to remember that other cultures have other values, as legitimate as ours . They may want to bring them here. In my view, there is no gender discrimanation happening here, male, female, kill them both. Perhaps that's something we should emulate.

Well, at least the Paki police are talking about arresting someone for the killings. That’s more than one might expect.
Are you insane? Your statement advocates murder as long as it's gender neutral? WTF??
Put the koran down and step away from the table.
I’m wondering what the circumstances were for the 8 men killed by honor.
I already saw that episode on Law and Order.
That is a sick thing to say; and is good example of the rot in our culture.
All other cultures ARE NOT EQUAL to our Western based culture. Liberals have have for 80 years tried to pedal this idea. They want to deconstruct (tear apart) our Western, Christian based culture. Then they can build it back with something totally different.
There is no equal to our modern Western culture, with the relatively few problems it has had.
Western culture has brought more freedom, more wealth, and more happiness to the human race than any other culture in the planet’s history.
Viva La France, the French one of the foundational cultures of the West seems to be figuring it. I hope it’s not to late for them.

Yes, being offended is just their way. How can we judge??// roll eyes.
Thanks for the ping. Apparently some on this thread had trouble interpreting your sarcasm.
