LAHORE: In an act of extreme cruelty, a man in the Fazal Park locality of Shahdara here on Friday slit the throats of three of his nephews.
The three children included six-year-old Azeem, three-year-old Waseem and one-year old Shakeel.
Police took the bodies of all three children into custody, and initiated an investigation into the incident.
The motive behind the killings could not be ascertained. However, citing preliminary investigation reports, police said the man had killed them in a fit of rage as he did not have his own children.
The man named Farhad fled after carrying out the killings. Later, police arrested him from Shahdara. The knife used for the murders was also recovered from his possession.

These type of henious incidents mostly happens in Punjab and KP. The need for education in these areas is felt severly. We must educate our people to stop this kind of mental disturbances. Punjab and KP should focus more on educating the common man to develop mental strength and tolerance. Most of the people in areas of Punjab and KP thinks that sending the children to Madrasah is enough but it is not the secular education is a must to grow a generation that can think before doing anything. Patience and tolerance are key to avoid these type of incidence where people are killing blood relatives. The government should come up with some Adult education programs to educate wisdom, tolerance and patience in the common man. This also is the duty of Mosque Imams to highlight social issues in the sermons.
This man should be handled with Anti Terror laws and should be hanged ASAP.

now he will be given death sentence, but then some BNGO will come into play and protest that he has been coerced to accept the charge and he should not be hanged infact should be released so that he can continue his barbarism

Our traditions accept children and adults to slit open the throat of a goat in the name of sacrifices. This then leads the mind to go one step further.

We reach conclusion very swiftly and also pass judgement without going into any details.The person may have some psychiatric disorders and must be referred to a competent medical board.Citing police (Chatrol technolgy) investigation is obsolete.

RIP and feel sorry for the kids' parents. No matter where and who you are, you are born human first. Respect life. I don't know if hanging this person will help the parents who lost 3 kids but the community as whole must put every effort to stop another such incident.
To all my Indian friends, I request to not bring religion in this conversation. It's the last thing to care
PEACE

Most people in Pakistan have lost their mental balance which is due to lack of education, frustration, worry, confusion, unhappiness and depression. Combinations of the above negative things can work together to create great mental stresses that can lead to savage behaviour. Provision of roti, kapara, makan, helth care and education will reduce 70% of the problems.

Illiteracy is a compound disease that gives birth to such idiotic rage, possibly a slight taunting by someone for not having children prompted this man to commit this grave crime.

I would love to hear about the afterlife from anyone who has been there.
It is the belief in the afterlife and what gets us to heaven that leads unthinking zealots to carry out attacks like Peshawar.

Pakistani Establishment with its policy of injustice, mass murder, extra-judicial killings...allowing foreign sponsored agents and free access to their drones to perfect their technologies on Pak citizens has traumatized the common people of Pakistan.
This Reign of Terror let loose on the people of Pakistan has savaged there capacity to think rationally, brutalized their psyche...the results, as this one, are often bizarre and incomprehensible.

Throat cutting and beheading have become a regular practice by state and non state actors. This practice is not going to go away easily. No other country has butchers like this.
