Zainab murder case: Notification issued for Imran’s final meeting with family
October 15, 2018
LAHORE: A notification was issued by jail authorities on Monday for the last meeting of Imran, convicted for the rape and murder of seven-year-old Zainab, with his family.
The last meeting will be held in the jail premises on October 16 at 12pm, a police officer said.
According to the instructions issued by prison officers, no more than 50 persons are allowed to meet the death row inmate. Those who will visit the jail to meet Imran will be liable to carry their national identity cards.
Imran, who was awarded 21 death sentences in the case, will be executed on October 17 at the Central Jail in Lahore.
Zainab was kidnapped from near her aunt’s house in Kasur on January 4 and was found dead in a garbage heap five days later.
On January 23, the authorities claimed to have nabbed Imran, a serial killer involved in other such crimes, through a DNA match.
Imran's DNA also matched samples taken from seven other minor girls who were abused and murdered earlier in Kasur, according to the police.
After the police arrested him, Imran reportedly confessed to assaulting eight minor girls at an under-construction site and two others in a garbage heap in Kasur.
