Zainab s murder last month sparked outrage across Pakistan, with riots erupting in Kasur as thousands swarmed police stations and set fire to politicians homes, while Pakistanis across the nation took to social media demanding action.
The killing sparked calls for the public execution of Ali after officials said his DNA had been recovered from the scene of the crime and matched samples from similar cases.
At least twelve cases of rape and murder have been recorded in the Kasur area in the past two years.
Ali confessed to eight cases, but it is not clear if the four others are linked.
