How many more hashtags: Mahira Khan, Frieha Altaf among others condemn Sara Bibi's brutal murder

The victim was murdered with a dumbbell and her husband, Shah Nawaz, is the prime suspect in the case

Senior journalist Ayaz Amir’s daughter-in-law, Sara Bibi, was allegedly murdered in Islamabad's Chak Shehzad suburb, police said on Friday. The 37-year-old was living at a farmhouse in the area where she was found dead Friday morning. Reportedly, she was murdered with a dumbbell and her husband, Shah Nawaz, is the prime suspect in the case.

The news shook celebrities and Twitter to the core, where many expressed shock and anger. "How long before we get any sort of justice for any woman who has been killed at the hands of rage and privilege. Another hashtag. Another long wait for justice. Justice delayed is justice denied," Mahira Khan tweeted.

"No country for women!" PR mogul Frieha Altaf wrote. "Another daughter-in-law, another Noor. The cases that are high profile make it to Twitter trends. The 12-year-old raped/hung just gets a column on page 5 and yet the horror of domestic abuse, misogynistic behaviour and harassment doesn’t stop."

Zunaira Inam Khan commented, "Another day, another woman lost to senseless violence. Such a terrible shame. When will be able to stop having to change the name at the end of the "justice for..." hashtag? Also, please stop sharing the pictures of the murder victim. Let her have dignity in death."

Twitter users, too, condemned Sara's brutal murder. 

Shahnawaz, the murderer, had killed a guy years ago while driving drunk.

Sara was, apparently, his 3rd wife.

His first wife ran away on the Valima day as he pulled out a gun at her.

The second also ran away,
apparently.

Today, as we read the news about Shahnawaz Amir murdering his wife—spare a moment for the rightful rage of Pakistan's women, who are still convincing its men, and the state, that there really is a problem with how they are treated in the country. #justiceforSarah

Only if Zahir Jaffer was hanged publicly and punished brutally, perhaps there wouldn’t be another Zahir Jaffer on lose. It pains my heart to read another hashtag #JusticeForSarah
I am beyond shattered. This country is going down to ruins with such a law, only God can save us.

Police and investigation teams reached the crime scene and the journalist's son was arrested after earlier fleeing from the crime scene. However, the police have said that the FIR will be registered after an investigation has been conducted. “The incident is being investigated,” a police spokesperson said while reserving further comments.
