It is an irony that the cases of rape and subsequent deaths are on an increase. This inhumane act is contradictory to the teachings of any religion but the offenders are always at large. It is time to make an example of the culprits and bring justice to the bereaved families.

@Alex: culprits must be hanged

@Alex: couldn't have said it better, if the law enforcers/judicial systems are impotent then its time for the people to take things into their hands and set such a grisly example of one such culprit that next time someone would think well over a thousand times before doing something like that!

When the educated are attacked-a girl of 13 still in uniform is kidnapped, raped and murdered-what demons is the society producing. This can only happen when there is no fear of justise due to , police incompetence, police corruption, poor police training, under funded police, police from staff from outside karachi who will not feel the pain of one who is of Karachi. And the corrupt legal system. The IG must apprehend the culprits and the Judges must give verdict of hanging and soon. We pray for the grieving family. A girl going home to do her homework and sit with her family , now torn from them and no in this world any more.

@Alex: Inhuman is a synonym to Pakistani, i am ashamed to be a Pakistani, i wish British forced have had never left. btw i am a muslim and a Pakistani.

makes me wonder, who are these animals living among us, unknown undetected, i feel sorry for this country and i sometimes feel ashamed of being part of it.

This will keep on going until an example of justice is made, the longer we wait to make a stand the more we sacrifice.

This is a very evil act, people found guilty, should be hanged in public so other who have such intensions get a lesson Be Aware Allah Amighty is watching every thing and dont be inhuman, respect women, your own mothers, sisters are also women. Be afraid of Allah's punishment! Everyone will be paying for thier doings on the day of judgement Daro Allah ke kayer see

It is time that we disregard the rulings of the CII and Put in 1- Death Penalty for rape. 2- Evidence of DNA as being proof of guilt.(Eyewitness to a rape is never available) 3- No age limit , If he can rape then he can face the Penalty. 4- Any one including Police who protect rapists face Min of 10 years hard labor. Raping a woman and then killing her is a violation of human dignity and there is no question that the severest Punishment should be inflicted. The CII is not leading us into the New Century where technology has replaced what the shortsighted eye sees. For Gods sake let us move on.

and what does hudood ordinance say about this??....how to proscecute these culprits???

While one odd case will always happen and is impossible to avoid what worries me is Pakistani society's resolve to fight against violence and establishment of government rit. Its like if an American or an Indian is killed than it is ok.... but if a Pakistani is killed than it is bad!

@Alex: Please take religion out of every single crime related narrative - whether they are bombings or rapes. These are extremely brutal crimes that must be tried with highest standards of law and must be punished heavily. Inferences to religion brings unnecessary confusion and unwanted interference in the course of law.

Who said that these horrible things happen elsewhere , but not in Pakistan?

Grow up duffer media. Why to reveal personal information of victims and families.

The police officer investigating the case can make an example by bringing the culplit to justice in least possible time. This is a challenge for him. Leave rest to the court and I am confident that even the judiciary will ensure that justice is done without delay, Inn Sha Allah. Keeping fingers crossed.....

@Emad: do not blame the country for the act of sadists. This country has given us a lot. It's mismanagement by incompetent leaders and degraded institutions allows a sick minuscule element of the population to act like this without fear. If the public is vociferous the culprits will be caught.

@zak: I agree with everything but find your argument mind boggling that police employees from outside will not feel pain???????

In such circumstances, religion has no relevance now. Such criminals committing acts even animals would not dare to do and alienating them from rest of humanity and civilisation. Where is the conscience of Pakistabi society! What beasts were they that innocent school girl was meted out that savage act.

Time to publicly hang the culprits.

This is sickening, girls are getting raped everyday but appatantely nothing seems to happen. The 5 year old child in Lahore raped few weeks back has already been forgotten. This nation formed in the name of Islam is no where near Islam. Religion does have a vital role to play in the case of nation formed in the name of religion. Unless the culprits are caught and punished in public crimes like these will never stop. To make matters worse places where modern science and technology should be used to catch the criminals are so called Islamic Scholars (CII) rejects it. Not considering DNA as a primary evidence in rape cases is a shameful episode. In addition the hadood ordinance is considered as Quran and sunnah itself. The hadood ordinance was introduced by a person who himself broke the law by toppling the constitution. This black ordinance along with the CII are the biggest cause of rising rape in this so called holy land. The real problem is that anyone who raises voice against these black laws is silenced forever. Unless these laws are changed and real true Islamic laws are introduced that consider modern science and technology as basis of evidence nothing will change and innocent girls of poor families will continue to be raped and killed in cold blood. I hope that the daughters of these elite politicians and office bearers unite to feel the grief of their unprivileged sisters.

If the perpetrators thought they would be caught, they would not do this. We need better policing, in turn that can only happen with better funding, in turn that means all Pakistanis should pay their taxes. How many of us reading this have paid our proper taxes? But we want proper policing, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

The society at the verge of madness. Such brutality?? How come an human can do this? Ashamed.

This is called Failed State with Failed Government!

@Gautham: I totally agree.

@Alex: Agreed.

alright someone needs to wake up at the law ministry and change the rules asap !!! where is CJ at the moment? Give this matter to him, he will sort it out but dammit, what are you waiting for?

An eye opener for Council for Islamic Ideology (CII) members who are continuously rejecting the new recommendation for DNA testing as a source for punishment for rapits. They should now approve the DNA testing in order to award death punishment for all these culprits.

Well, the issue is deeper than just hanging the culprits. The police is corrupt, the judiciary is corrupt, the bureaucracy is corrupt, and majority of the people are also corrupt. No doubt there are so many good and clean people are also living in the society and they suffer most from seeing all these heinous crimes, but majority is like animals. This nation has changed 360 degrees in 60 years. 60 years a go , muslims and Pakistanis were the symbol of compassion, and truthfulness. The more devout a muslim was the more he was liked all over the world. Now, everyone feels scared of being a devout muslim or go closer to one. Reasons? One need to analyse history. From 1970s, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto started the practices of corruption in the governments, and made laws that could stop good people going to the governance. This went on in the days of Zia, and later Benazir and Nawaz Sharif kept the legacy of corruption, so much so that Asif Ali Zardari became the president who himself was considered the most corrupt man of the country. These people made the whole nation follow the corrupt practices, and once the nation is plagued with corruption the conscience of the nation decayed with free fall. Now you cannot expect good results from this nation, the rapes will happen, because police is busy in corruption, and even if they find a culprit, the judges will not either hear the case or will just let them go because they are also corrupt. You can buy the courts in Pakistan. Solution? long term solution is to provide education to the people, those who really feel for these issues, they should come forward and spend their money on opening schools, and reforming the society. slowly and gradually people will become better, but this will take time. I do not see any short term resolution. you will see incidents of worst nature every month.

Do we have to print details of what transpired to the poor girl ? Do you really need to further publicly humiliate the poor girls family ? Suffice to say that the girl was raped but to give details of what transpired is yellow journalism.

Our Society is at brink of collapse or shall I say already collapsed...such heinous crimes will continue to happen unless we as a nation stand against these crimes and come out of our comfortable houses & demand justice. Just like Indian people came out for the girl raped & murdered in Delhi. Such people should be hanged in public & let their bodies rot for ever...

@Aht: i wonder which state u live in...the third world state where girls are picked up along with BF. ....gang raped and than thrown out of moving bus in state capital or the first world state where a rape case is filed every minute and still 2/3rd goes unreported....Since when such case is the prime parameter to judge state failure or government failure...

Is it important to describe condition of body, specially a female. I pray no parents go through such henious crimes. Just prays for her and offcourse no hope of any justice.

@Altimo: who they gonna hang. They are having meal with justice department as like other criminals. Opps, our law is not criminal , its the way their morals are.

Government - Wake up!

@Altimo: Unfortunately this is Pakistan, just like mukhtaran mai's rapists, killers of shahzeb, rapists of veena hayat were let go so will they. The only important thing in Pakistan it seems is the length of a woman's shalwa. Are the ankles covered? Its a life sentence to be a woman in Pakistan.

very sad...! They did not rape a girl they raped Pakistan, give justice as soon as possible.

May Allah grant the poor innocent girl jannat and burn the dog who did to this poor soul in hell. May this pig rot in this world for the dastardly act.

Her body should be gift wrapped and sent to all the so-called religious schollars that recently decided that the testimony of 4 male pious muslim witnesses was more acceptable evidence than DNA tests. Thank you Maulana.

@Emad: They are living next to you look around carefully.

According to pakistani laws no arrest would be made because the victim cant produce four witnesses. Shame on CII.Disgusted.

@Kashif: Victims family are so much pressurized that they have to take their case back.

The school should be held responsible. They should not have ever sent the girl with any one before confirmation. It is such an act of irresponsibility that should not be tolerated. This would not have happened if a call was made by the school to verify the situation before sending her off. I hop that the authority will look into this and that the responsible person will get punished for his or her ignorance. It is an incident that was not called for and could have been easily avoided.

Our society is becoming like the hindu and western societies ,such crimes are common there, shame on muslims for leaving the teachings of the deen and not fearing for the end, this path of leaving the deen is just making pakistan a more nastier place.....

Is there anybody who can connect me with the family of the victim?

@Aht: No sir. It is called a failed state with no conscience.

@Aht: This have nothing to do with state or goverment . This kind of evil happen every where in the world and most of time culprit never apprehended if its done by stranger. We have example of Imran F. His mudere still not caught. I am sure somewhere people who committed this heinous crime blaming Pakistan goverment and Pakistan also. And every know DNA verdict not come from Pakistan goverment infact religion is responsible for it.

In the Muslim faith a Muslim man can marry a child as young as 1 year old and have sexual intimacy with this child. Consummating the marriage by age 9. The dowry is given to the family in exchange for the woman (who becomes his slave) and for the purchase of the private parts of the woman, to use her as a toy. Even though a woman is abused she can not obtain a divorce. Just the opposite for the male. A written decree of divorce may be signed and delivered to the wife without court approval even in this country. To prove rape, the woman must have (4) male witnesses. They cover each other's asses, so this is a lost cause, too. Often after a woman has been raped, she is returned to her family and the family must return the dowry. The family has the right to execute her (an honour killing) to restore the honour of the family.

@zindabad: This is Pakistani problem and has nothing to do with Hindu or West. Unfortunately, there are rapes every where. However, women have rights, rapists are convicted and women are not treated as barter object or denied education.
