Court grants one-day physical remand of Ayaz Amir in Sara murder case
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - As police continued to investigate the murder of a Canadian national Sara Inam allegedly by her husband, a local Islamabad court approved on Monday a three-day of accused Shah Nawaz and a one-day physical remand of senior journalist Ayaz Amir— the accused’s father—for his alleged involvement in the crime at a Chak Shahzad residence.
During the hearing, Ayaz Amir told the court that he would fight his case by himself, adding that he was in Chakwal at the time of the incident and reported the incident to the Islamabad police himself because he feared that no one else would be injured in the incident.
He further said, "If you accuse me, give me some evidence. There is nothing against me. When such incidents happen in society, the crime scene is changed."
On behalf of the police, a request was made for further physical remand of the accused to investigate the Sara Inam murder case, on which the court granted one more day physical remand of Ayaz Amir and another three-day for his son Shahnawaz.
It is pertinent to mention that on Friday, the police arrested the journalist’s son Shahnawaz Amir for allegedly killing his wife Sara Inam, 37, a day after she arrived from Dubai — where she had been working.
The incident took place at a farmhouse located in the capital’s Shahzad Town suburb where the suspect lived along with his mother.
