 In My Eyes:

I don’t care what you say but “A MURDERER IS A MURDERER”.

“Whoever kills an innocent life it is as if he has killed all of humanity…” (Surat Al-Ma’idah 5:32)

This is a clear cut murder case. What is taking so long to come to an obvious decision? The criminal should be hanged because any sentence of years in jail will just be very short or cut even shorter (we’ve seen that happen in recent cases!) These are influential powerful people they will overturn it whether after 1 year or 5. Hanging is the solution like it was in Zainab child murder case. Difference unfortunately is there murderer was poor and here he’s rich. Our hope for once our justice system is stronger bribe and uses its moral compass!
