He had been raping one of them for a year, then he hit on the other
Two half-sisters have been arrested in Pakistan on charges of killing their father by burning him alive as revenge for raping one of them and attempting to do the same to the other. The police say so.
The events date back to January 1st: the father was attacked in the city of Gujranwala, in the province of Punjab, and taken to hospital where he died yesterday. The girls confessed to the attack and said they had agreed to find a ‘permanent solution’, said Rizwan Tariq, a senior police official in the city. They then took petrol from a motorcycle and set him on fire while he slept, he added. The two said the father raped the older daughter for a year and had twice attempted to rape the younger sister. Their mothers, both married to the man, knew of the abuse but not of the revenge plan. One of the wives has been arrested while the second is under interrogation. “They will be taken to court in a few days, as soon as we finish the investigation,” Tariq added.
