LONDON, Jan 21: Benazir Bhutto knew she would be murdered, the Sunday Telegraph has quoted her younger sister Sanam Bhutto as saying.

Ms Bhutto was also quoted by the newspaper vouching rather indirectly for Benazir’s controversial will in which she had bequeathed the PPP to her husband Asif Ali Zardari, saying that two days before she left for Pakistan, she wrote a 17-page will.

“Two days before she left for Pakistan she wrote a 17-page will,” Sanam Bhutto told her close friend Daphne Barak, a US interviewer, this week.

“Towards the end she had this soft look and sadness in her eyes. I can’t explain it: it was just this different look.

“She was very nice to everyone, very considerate. Although she was going through normal stress, she thought about each one of us. It was as if she knew she was saying goodbye.

“She even bought a present for my daughter, and instead of giving her money she gave her a very special necklace.”
