Police found Muzammil Bibi’s body
hanging from a tree in Layyah.
Three men admitted to raping and
killing the 20-year-old.
A 20-year-old woman has been gang-
raped, killed and hanged from a tree
in Pakistan in a case with a chilling
resemblance to a double rape and
murder that caused outrage in
neighboring India last month.
Pakistani police said Muzammil Bibi,
20, was attacked by three men in a
field in the impoverished Layyah
area of densely populated Punjab
province.
"This is the first time in my 22 years
of service in the police that I have
seen such a case, where a girl was
raped in this way and found hanging
from a tree," senior officer Sadaqat
Ali Chohan told Reuters.
"We have heard of such cases in
India but never in Pakistan. The
girl's clothes were torn. We took her
down and moved her to hospital.
Her body had signs of resistance. We
have arrested three individuals who
have confessed to the crime."
