A Pakistani court on Saturday adjourned the case of a British-Pakistani woman’s murder until Sept. 23 to give police more time to submit charges against her father and ex-husband, who are accused of slaying her in the name of honor, police and lawyers said.
Police brought both men before the court in Jhelum as they covered their faces and did not respond to questions from journalists.
After the brief hearing, Najful Hussain Shah, the lawyer for the deceased woman’s husband, told reporters that he will seek the death penalty for 28-year-old Samia Shahid’s father, Mohammed Shahid, and ex-husband, Mohammed Shakeel.
He said Shahid’s mother and sister tricked her into visiting Pakistan in July by saying her father was gravely ill and that the women fled to Britain after her murder. He said the Pakistani government is trying to bring them back for questioning.
Also Saturday, defense lawyer Mohammed Arif dismissed the police allegations as a baseless, saying his clients have been wrongly accused. He said he will appeal another court’s recent rejection of bail for Mohammed Shahid.
Shahid’s murder has shocked many Pakistanis since a government-ordered police probe concluded that she was strangled by her father and ex-husband. Police allege that the father also stood guard while the ex-husband raped her.
