Bride beaten to death in Lahore by ‘husband, in-laws’ a day after marriage

LAHORE: A woman was allegedly tortured to death by her in-laws a day after her marriage on Walton Road.

According to the first information report lodged by Suleman Khan, the brother of the deceased Sawera, she was subjected to torture by her husband and his family members over unidentified reasons.

He stated that Sawera got married to Asif Jan of Shama Colony on Dec 28. When he visited Jan’s house along with his family members the next morning to see Sawera, they found her in-laws taking her to a hospital in an ambulance, Khan added.

He said when they reached the private hospital, the doctors refused to attend to her, calling it a police case due to bruises on various parts of her body. The doctors told them that she had already died, Suleman claimed, adding that they later rushed her to a government hospital where medics confirmed her death.

He claimed that his sister was allegedly tortured to death by her husband and his family members.

Police sent the body to morgue for autopsy and started an investigation into the allegations after lodging a case against the suspects.

Young girl’s tragic story makes her symbol of Yemen war

Buthaina Mansur al-Rimi’s life has changed drastically since last year — orphaned in Sanaa, the little girl controversially ended up in Saudi Arabia for medical care and has just returned to Yemen’s capital. Her entire immediate family was wiped out in an air strike by a Saudi-led coalition that backs Yemen’s government, using an explosive device Amnesty International says was made in the US. Images of Buthaina’s rescue and a picture of her swollen and bruised at a hospital trying to force open one of her eyes with her fingers were beamed worldwide. That international fame saw her become something of a propaganda pawn in the war between Yemen’s Iran-backed Huthi rebels and Saudi media. “I was in my mother’s room with my father, sisters, brother and uncle, the first missile hit, and my father went to get us sugar to get over the shock, but then the second missile hit, and then the third,” she says. “And then the house fell,” adds the little girl, who says she is eight.
