This is one
of those stories you come across and you would feel that you are reading a
fiction from an alien planet and not from our beautiful earth. I mean this
could shock you to your spine.
We are
looking at the story of 27-year-old Sabah Khan who has been sentenced for
killing her sister in cold blood after she has had series of sexual affairs
with her sister’s husband for four years and even reportedly had an abortion in
between.
Hafeez
Rehman was married to Sabah Khan’s older sister, Saima Khan, 34, and they all lived in the sisters’
family house. Shortly after his marriage to Saima, Hafeez, a taxi driver, began
a sexual affair with Sabah and he was quite manipulative at it.
The cheating
partners had sexual relations in the man’s cab and also at their home whenever
his wife had gone to work. At a point in their 4-year relationship, Sabah
became pregnant and had to abort Hafeez’s baby.
In the
course of time, Hafeez’s interest in his wife’s younger sister went south and
he wanted to stop the illicit affair but Sabah begged him to take her back.
Because by this time she had fallen in love with her sister’s husband and
wanted to keep him to her alone, Sabah began to plot how to eliminate the only
obstacle in her way – her sister Saima.
Sabah
researched various methods of committing murder on the internet including the
use of poisons and how to get away with murder. Two days before the attack, she
purchased a kitchen knife from Tesco in anticipation of the act.
On the day
of the attack, May 23, 2016, after the family had gone for a funeral program at
a mosque, Sabah called her sister on phone asking her to get back home in the
pretext that one of her children had been crying.
The accused
laid in wait for her sister in a dark corner at their home and brutally
attacked her with knife in the hallway, leaving her with up to 68 stab wounds.
She tried to disguise her actions by breaking glasses in the entrance doors of
their home in Luton, England. Meanwhile the kids had been sleeping upstairs.
Police was
investigating a suspected burglary case until after 8 days when the knife and
blood stained clothes were found in Sabah’s room. Sabah Khan has recently been
sentenced to a minimum of 22-year jail term while the house where they all
lived with their parents has been put up for sale.
I am
speechless. You may have something to say. Feel free to share your thoughts
