Shahnawaz Amir and his mother Samina Shah indicted in Sara Inam murder case
A district and sessions court on Monday indicted the main accused Shahnawaz Amir and his mother Samina Shah in the Sara Inam murder case.
The main accused was found guilty of murder in police challan as he had confessed to the murder during the investigation. The court called the prosecution’s witnesses on December 14. According to the challan, the main accused had told the police during the investigation that when Sara Inam did not send him money (sometime before her murder) she had a heated telephonic conversation with him and he had divorced her on the phone.
The suspect told the police that after the divorce, Sara Inam had reached Islamabad from Abu Dhabi on September 22. He furthered that she had started arguing with him in the bedroom that night and had demanded to return the money she had sent to him.
The challan further cited that the prime accused revealed that he had a heated telephonic conversation with Sarah and divorced her on the phone as the latter refused to send him money on multiple occasions. Following the divorce, Sarah arrived in Pakistan on September 22, Shahnawaz told police, adding his wife continued to pressurize him to return the money.
Shahnawaz then confessed to hitting Sarah with a showpiece and after the commotion, the accused hit her with a dumbbell several times on the head. The son of a noted Pakistani journalist was detained by the Islamabad Police earlier in September on charges of murdering his wife.
