A man who raped and killed a 7-year-old girl was given a death sentence.

A Lahore sessions court has given a man the death penalty for raping and killing a seven-year-old child.

Additional Meetings Judge Malik Tanveer Ahmad Awan heard arguments from both parties and rendered the decision, which resulted in a 21-year prison sentence and the death penalty.

The complaint, which was filed by the Manawan Police Station in 2022, concerned the vicious rape and killing of a young girl, whose body was later found in a swimming pool. Modern technology was used by law enforcement to successfully capture the offender.

Witness statements and strong evidence from the prosecution were used throughout the trial to help secure the conviction. Due to the court’s conviction on several offences, the accused received the harshest penalty possible.
