An anti-terrorism court awarded four more death sentences to Imran Ali, the accused in the eight-year-old Zainab rape and murder case.

The court reserved verdict in three other rape and murder cases— Laiba Umar, Batool and Ayesha Asif—and awarded the accused four additional death sentences.

Judge Sajjad Ahmed conducted the trial inside the Koth Lakhpat Jail, and according to the judge’s written verdict, Imran was handed a further four death sentences and fined Rs3 million. He will spend an additional six months in prison in the event he fails to pay the fine.

Prosecutor Abdul Rauf Wattoo said Imran took lives of many young girls after sexually assaulting them.

According to Wattoo, he kidnapped 12-year-old Ayesha Asif from Kasur ‘B’ Division and assaulted her in an under construction building near Sethi Colony before taking her life.
