ISLAMABAD: Following the release of security camera footage relating to Noor Mukadam’s murder in Islamabad, Twittersphere requested capital punishment for Zahir Jaffer, primarily by hanging.
The new closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage shows Noor Mukadam making an attempted effort to leave Zahir Jaffer’s residence.
On July 18, at 10:19 p.m., Noor was spotted entering the suspect’s residence while on the phone with someone. In the video, you can also see Watchman Iftikhar. Then, on July 20, she is observed jumping on the porch area of the home from the first floor in a frantic attempt to run, but the watchman blocks her path.
Noor Mukadam, the daughter of a previous ambassador, was brutally killed on July 20 in Islamabad by her friend Zahir Jaffer. Protests erupted around the country in response to the horrible murder in July.
After declining a marriage proposal, the victim was assaulted. He had raped and tortured her with a knuckle duster before killing her with a “sharp-edged instrument.”
Prime Minister Imran Khan has promised that the accused will face justice despite being a member of Pakistan’s elite and a dual national.
Twittersphere has now begun a campaign calling for Zahir Jaffer’s execution by hanging.
