DPO ordered killings of two brothers, says main accused

LAHORE – Shams Ali, one of the accused involved in the barbaric killing of two brothers in Sialkot, claimed on Sunday that he carried out the murders at the behest of Sialkot DPO Waqar Chauhan.He quoted the DPO as saying, “Go ahead and kill both them. Police will claim the responsibility of the two brothers’ death and declare it a result of an encounter,” Ali said. Shams Ali, one of the men involved in the ghastly act of publicly killing Hafiz Mughees and Muneeb Sajjad, told a private TV channel that his 12-year-old nephew also sustained injuries as a result of firing occurred before the episode of torture on the brothers. “The whole scene of barbarism was carried out at the behest of DPO Waqar Chauhan,” Shams claimed.The unidentified people took turns savagely beating the two teenage brothers with sticks, drawing blood before dragging and hanging their dead bodies from a nearby metal pole. None of the dozens of people watching tried to stop the attack, not even several police. The boys may have been mistaken for robbers. The scene, caught on video and broadcast on news channels, has outraged and anguished Pakistanis, some of whom are asking if years of state neglect have brutalized society. The killings occurred Aug. 15 in Sialkot. As details have emerged, authorities appear increasingly confident that the two boys — Moiz Butt, 17, and his brother Muneeb, 15 — were innocent. The two went to play cricket after praying and eating breakfast, carrying a bag with them containing game equipment, said Mujahid Sherdil, a top government official in the district. A robbery had taken place in the vicinity of the cricket field, so residents were on alert and police were nearby. Apparently, when the boys appeared with a bag, they were thought to be the robbers, Sherdil said. He added, however, that more information was still being sought. The boys were believed to have been in fights over the past few days for the right to play on the cricket ground, which was about a mile (two kilometers) from their house.The origins of the video are unknown and there are reports that multiple men in the crowd recorded the attack using cell phones. Stations blurred out some of the more graphic images of the boys’ bloodied bodies, but several faces in the crowd are clearly identifiable, including several police officers in uniform who watched. Civic groups condemned the attack in Sialkot, and the media attention has forced the government to respond. But many suspects never get caught — one reason mobs feel free to go after victims on their own.
