Today I read a story of a woman from Karachi in Pakistan. Strangely enough depending on which version of events you read, she is either 32 or 42 years old, though when you kill and cook your husband i'm not convinced that it matters how old you are.
Yeah, so that’s what Zainab Bibi did, allegedly that is. Police in Karachi had arrested the lady after neighbours complained that there was a particularly nasty smell coming from the house.
The story according to the police is that Zainab Bibi and her 22yr old nephew Zaheer Ahmed killed her husband by (again depending on what news source you read) either by stabbing him to death or by poisoning him then strangling him.
Both news sources say that Zainab and Zaheer cut Ahmad Abbas into pieces and hard started to boil him up for cooking.
Of course, like most people they have a reason for murder (in their own heads at least) Zainab’s excuse was that Ahmad wanted to begin a physical relationship with his daughter who may or may not be 17 year old.
The only pieces of information that are the same between the various news sources is that is that Zainab Bibi did not regret her actions.
When I decided to write about this I didn’t realise the different variations of the same and to be quite honest I’m not sure which one is right and which one is wrong, so I’ve given you both stories so you can make up your own mind.
Seriously though, I don’t really approve of murder as way a stop someone doing something, it’s a bit of overkill really, especially if it’s over a parking space or something like that. But this murder happened because a woman was trying to protect another one from incestuous rape.
It’s a lot more of a valid reason than some I’ve read or heard about and you get many lesser reasons for manslaughter on ‘Criminal Minds’ and more horrible murders on ‘American Horror Story’. Not sure how Derek Morgan or Dr Reid would profile Zainab though, I suppose it depends on what she has been through herself.
But still if I ever find out the correct story, ill let you all know.
