Following Zahir Jaffer's conviction last week, the parents of Noor Mukadam have expressed the hope that his death sentence would be carried out as soon as possible. Jaffer had been sentenced to death for murdering 27-year-old Noor Mukadam in July 2021.
Speaking with the Express Tribune, Shaukat Muqqadam said that he implored the courts to carry out the execution of the killer as soon as possible.
“Most people of Pakistan wanted other accused to be punished as well,” he added, denying claims that his family had attempted to reach a compromise with the convict's family.
Noor's mother said that she had been unable to attend the court case, as she could not bear to face her daughter's murderer.
"I did not show up at the court on the day the verdict was announced because I did not want to see him [Zahir Jaffer]. I even did not want to see his cruel face on social media and other forums,” she said. “Obviously, a person who does this to one’s daughter in such a brutal way, how can he be seen (by a mother)? she can't stand it. We will only be satisfied when he will be hanged.”
She further said that the family visit Noor's grave every second day.
“I often tell my son how quiet the house has become without Noor. With the departure of Noor, our house has said goodbye to laughter”, she said.
