Sarah murder case: Shah Nawaz’s mother granted bail

Samina Shah, the mother of the key defendant in the Sarah Inam murder case, was granted bail by an Islamabad sessions court on Wednesday.

After hearing the accused’s request for bail, judge Sheikh Sohail issued the release order.

The Islamabad police detained her on October 19 for allegedly aiding Shahnawaz in the murder. After she was unable to substantiate claims against herself in the murder case, her bail request was repeatedly rejected.

Shah was detained by the police after Additional Sessions Judge Sohail Sheikh rejected her request for release.

Sarah’s murder rocked Islamabad in September, as news of the crime spread across social media and news networks.
It has been reported that after murdering her with a blow to her head with a dumbbell, Shahnawaz dumped her body in a bathtub.
