2012-03-28 Mail On Sunday: Pakistanilainen tanssija teki itsemurhan

[Aeon]

Mail On Sunday raportoi pakistanilaisesta tanssijasta, joka joutui happohyökkäyksen kohteeksi (ex-)miehensä toimesta:

A Pakistani former dancing girl left fighting for life by a 'horrific' acid attack has committed suicide a decade after being heavily facially disfigured.

Fakhra Younus, 33, leapt to her death from a sixth floor building in Rome 12 years after the acid attack which she said left her looking 'not human'.

At the time of her attack in May 2000, her ex-husband Bilal Khar was the man accused of entering her mother's house and pouring acid over Younus's face as she slept.

Bilal Khar was arrested in 2002 and charged with attempted murder following the attack, only to be released on bail after five months.

Khar, an ex-parliamentarian and son of a wealthy Pakistani governor, was eventually cleared of the attack, though many believe he could have used his family connections to escape conviction.

After Younus's tragic suicide emerged earlier this month, Khar continued to deny having any part in the attack - claiming in a television interview a different man with the same name had carried out the crime.
Khar claimed his ex-wife killed herself because she didn't have enough money, not because of her horrific injuries.
