ISLAMABAD: District and Session court in Islamabad extended the physical remand of key suspect Shahnawaz Amir in the Sarah Inam murder case by three days on Monday.
Following the expiration of his physical remand, the police summoned suspect Shahnawaz before civil judge Aamir Aziz and asked for a three-day extension for further interrogation.
“Police must recover Sarah Inam’s passport,” the investigative officer told the court. He stated that the passport is “significant evidence” because it shows Sarah’s travel history.
Meanwhile, the complainants’ lawyer claimed that Sarah was slain in Shahnawaz’s home. He stated that if the authorities did not collect Sarah’s passport within 14 days of the murder, the suspect would flee.
The judge then stated that the case should not be wrecked because of deficiencies in the investigations. The court later granted the police request to prolong Shahnawaz’s physical remand.
Moreover, Islamabad Session Court approved a four-day physical remand of the main accused – Shahnawaz Amir – son of senior journalist Ayaz Amir on September 29.
The investigating officer told the court that the details of the account are to be taken as the accused had been demanding money at different times from Sarah.
The judge inquired from the police how many days of remand has been done to which the Investigating Officer (IO) said that five days of physical remand has been completed.
