Pakistan Zainab murder: DNA suggests suspect in other case was 'innocent'
By Secunder Kermani BBC News,
Image captionFor almost a year, Mudasir was thought to have been the killer
Pakistani officials say they will investigate allegations police carried out an unauthorised killing of a man wrongly accused of murdering a child.
Police shot Mudasir, accused of killing five-year-old Iman Fatima, in February 2017, saying he tried to escape.
However, a BBC Newsnight investigation has uncovered allegations that Iman's real killer is still at large.
DNA tests suggest Iman was killed by the same man suspected of murdering another child this month.
The rape and murder of six-year-old Zainab Ansari earlier this month sparked outrage and protests across Pakistan.
Police working on the investigation into Zainab's murder have discovered DNA traces matching those found in seven other attacks on young girls in the same city.
Out of the seven attack victims, four - including Iman - were murdered.
'Trying to escape'?
Iman Fatima had been playing outside in the street with her five-year-old cousin Adeel.
Sitting next to his father, Adeel told the BBC, "The kidnapper made me stand against the wall and took Iman Fatima away. He took her upstairs, put her in a sack and took her away."
Adeel's memory of the incident is at times vague and confused but his family say after the abduction, despite his age, he identified the house his cousin had been taken into, and later the man responsible.

The suspect was 21 year-old Mudasir, a factory worker who had moved to Kasur with his family around two years earlier.
What happened next is disputed. According to one police version Mudasir was killed resisting arrest. Another senior police officer told the BBC he was taken into custody where he confessed, and then was killed "trying to escape."
But in an exclusive interview with the BBC, Mudasir's family said they believed police killed him despite knowing he wasn't the killer because they were not able to find the real culprit.
Human rights groups have criticised police in Pakistan for carrying out what are known locally as "police encounters" - extra judicial killings that are then covered up as incidents where suspects resisted arrest.
Analysts say police often carry out "encounter killings" because of the low conviction rate in Pakistani courts.
'They killed my son'
After the discovery of Iman Fatima's body local residents began to protest against the perceived inaction by authorities. A month earlier in January 2017, another 5-year-old girl, Ayesha Asif had also been sexually assaulted and murdered.
Mudasir's mother Jamila Bibi told the BBC, "I feel as if I have lost everything. They killed my son."
The family moved out of Kasur just days afterwards, "No-one in the neighbourhood would even talk to us" Jamila Bibi added tearfully.
Image captionMudasir's mother and family had to move and leave the city
Mudasir's family say he was taken into custody the same evening Iman Fatima was abducted and killed. They allege they then went with police to recover his body from a local hospital.
Police officials in Kasur told the BBC that Mudasir had been positively identified as the suspect by the girl's cousin Adeel.
Speaking to the BBC, a relative of Iman Fatima said police had called him into the police station to hear Mudasir confess to the killing.
But the DNA evidence examined as part of the enquiry into Zainab's murder later suggested Mudasir was not the killer.
Following Mudasir's death in February 2017, another four young girls were attacked, including Zainab. Three of them died, one is still in hospital. Traces of the same DNA were found on their bodies as of Iman Fatima.
When presented with the allegations uncovered by the BBC, Malik Ahmad Khan, spokesman for the Punjab Government, told the BBC that authorities in the province would carry out a "full-fledged inquiry" and that those responsible for any "extrajudicial killing won't be spared."
Iman Fatima's father told the BBC, "I'm so worried - the real killer is still roaming free, and an innocent man has been killed."
"I am so angry with the police I can't explain. We want justice and we want the actual culprit caught."

Considering Imran Khan silent on the rape and murder of the four-years-old Mardan girl in KPK, the shame has left Pakistan [PTI included] long time ago not just PMLN lovers given PTI and PMLN lovers politicizing those incidents to suit their political goals. Your post is indicator that it is political scoring point devoid of sympathy towards the plight of the father.
For years, Imran Khan defended TTP despite its involvement in killing more than 100,000 people including children and women, and yet people in majority conservatively supported Imran Khan suggest that the anemically disturbing mindset [father of honor killing] is yet to leave Pakistan unfortunately.

No they didnot coverup , they have been investigating. My outrage against imran khan was not doing dharna for zainab and i expected he should have finished all child rape attacks. But kpk police didnot shun investigations like incompetent personal militia force of shehbaz shareef called punjab police
Anyways, folks this is what is latest
https://arynews.tv/en/zainab-case-facilitators-arrested-kasur/
They are dragging the case.
KASUR: Police have arrested two alleged facilitators of the prime suspect in a raid near the rape-slay victim Zainab’s house in Kasur, ARY News reported on Thursday.
According to ARY News Kasur correspondent Takreem Ali, on a tip off provided by a suspect arrested from Lahore, a police party raided a small house in the Kasur city near the garbage heap where Zainab’s body was found on January 9 and arrested two people including the house owner.
dilapidated house was the same where the seven-year old rape-slay victim was kept before being murdered and thrown in the trash heap nearby.
New CCTV footage shows Zainab being led away by ‘suspect’
Sources say police fear that the owners rented some room of the house to the prime suspect in the rape and murder of seven-year old Zainab.
Area residents say the arrested people do not enjoy a good reputation in the area and were unemployed.
#JusticeForZainab
Kidnapped on January 4 and found from a garbage heap on January 9, Zainab’s autopsy report suggested that the minor was sexually assaulted before being strangulated to death.
Justice For Zainab: 7-year-old’s rape, murder shakes Pakistan
The girl’s rape and murder sparked outrage among the residents of the city and whole of Pakistan with social activists and general public starting a trend #JusticeForZainab on social media.
Zainab’s parents were performing Umrah when the incident occurred, as they landed back in Pakistan, they demanded justice from Chief Justice of Pakistan and Chief of Army Staff (COAS)
It is pertinent to note that during the hearing of the case in Lahore High Court, IG Punjab Arif Nawaz had told the court that 11 minor girls had been abducted, raped and killed during the last two years.
The police investigated 227 suspects and conducted DNA tests of 67 suspects and only one person’s DNA had been traced in six cases of sexual assault.

RIP small beloved girl' How can anybody rape a 8 years child? You must have shaitan in you to do this kind of work.
No he should be bought to the justice and tried as per the law of land.
The name Smartgeek doesn't suit you. You must have some backwards mindset to interpret my post as some sort of political point scoring. Should every post be about condolences to the father of the victim? At this stage the debate should be about police incompetency and Government responsibility.
I am calling Noonies on here shameless because I have seen their many posts defending the Government and attacking PTI when we all know it is the Punjab Government's responsibility for the Law enforcement in Kasur. A serial killer is on the loose yet here you are are blaming IK for things which are unrelated. That is textbook political point scoring even though you don't see it.
