LAHORE: A Lahore man has confessed to ordering a hitjob to kill brother, sister-in-law and niece over a property dispute.
Amanat Ali, his wife Shabana and their two-month-old daughter Azal were murdered on February 27 in Agrics Town in Lahore’s Chohang area.
Police arrested Amin, his son Shehzad and hitman Ashiq who confessed to their crimes. Amin was also imprisoned in 2014 for his father’s murder where he met Ashiq who was among the most notorious inmates for their ruthlessness.
He got Ashiq out of the prison and offered a contract of one million rupees to kill his
brother, sister-in-law and their child. In his confessional statement, Amin said they entered Ali’s house where Shehzad held Amanat Ali at gunpoint. Then they took him to the washroom and slit his throat.
After this, they tied and killed Shabana and strangled Azal, an infant. Amin did not want his brothers Saleem and Amanat Ali to have a share in their father’s property. He killed his father over the same issue. Ali, who was a lawyer, was pursuing the case.
Amin also planned to kill Saleem, but the police arrested him and foiled his bid.
