s butt | 13 years ago | Reply i am british born of pakistani ethnicity. I like every person who knows of this deeply believe that the culprits should be hanged for this crime. According to pakistani law if the corrupt officials do not take bribes will be hanged because this is 1st degree murder of the highest kind and there is enough evidence to prove this now.
