In Islamabad, Sarah Inam was laid to rest
In the midst of a commotion, Sarah Inam, a Pakistani-Canadian who is accused of killing her husband Shahnawaz Amir last week, was buried on Wednesday in the nation’s capital.
The 37-year-old spouse was killed at the suspect’s home in Islamabad’s Chak Shahzad neighborhood using dumbbells, according to a police investigation report. The suspect is the son of renowned journalist Ayaz Amir. Currently being held in police custody on a physical remand is Shahnawaz Amir.
She wed Amir of her own free will in a private ceremony in Chakwal in July of this year, without the couple’s parents present.
His father and two brothers, who had flown in from Canada and the United States, respectively, were present for Inam’s funeral prayers.
Sarah Inam’s father claimed in a media interview that Amir forced her daughter into marriage in order to defraud her of money.
He also started crying as he recalled his daughter, describing her as “the most lovable child.” He promised to continue pursuing the criminal case against the suspect until justice was done.
He said that although “we don’t know that was coming in,” the family had intended to host a formal wedding reception for the couple in October.

How long before we get any sort of justice for any woman who has been killed at the hands of rage and privilege. Another hashtag. Another long wait for justice. Justice delayed is justice denied. #JusticeForSarah.
