Monday evening Nasreen returned home after being out all night. An argument follow and Muneer didn’t like her responses.
According to SHO Khan, Muneer got angry and asked her to lie flat on the ground with her face down. “Before attacking her, the accused asked her to loudly recite the Kalimas; once she did so, he committed the horrendous act.”
Muneer told the police that he in doing so had made her a lesson for other women who do not obey their spouses.
Muhammad Javed of village Atarsheesha who is the younger brother of the victim, told the police and the media that his sister Nasreen got married to Muneer some ten years back and the couple had four children. Muneer, an addict, has no permanent source of living and used to work as a daily wager.
According to Javed, Muneer would often beat Nasreen whenever she demanded food and clothes for herself and her children. About two years back, the accused had beaten her with a club, damaging her skull partially. The concussion had altered her mental balance.
“We took her to our home and got her treated for several months but she never fully recovered,” he said.
The family claims she was visiting her children which were moved by Muneer.
The magistrate sent him on judicial remand to Mansehra District Jail. The police registered a criminal case against the accused who recorded his confessional statement in the court of judicial magistrate Balakot, Islam-ud-Din.
