Fraud, my understanding of the case is that the civil courts initially found him guilty, but on the appeal, they found the evidence not strong enough..the shariah courts then took over and found him guilty again. So there’s obviously some uncertainty there which is why personally think it should just be retried.

On the DNA evidence, I think even if he burnt the car and the body, he could still have been caught..a piece of hair he leaves behind when walking away is all that’s needed to get a confirmation of his presence at the crime scene. identification of the burnt cabbie wouldnt be difficult as the family would have reported him missing, then teeth analysis would have confirmed his identity. Either way, I think there’s a good chance had he done the burn scenario he’d have been fingered.

again..what did shariah courts find that civil courts did not see. There should be a disclosure of that.

on the DNA evidence only way possible would have been had they either had him in suspicion and were then able to compare dna sample at scene of crime to his dna, or they had info on his in the system already.
There are cases in US which is df much more advanced than pakistan in terms of police work, where the dna of the perp is in police records but they dont have any suspects that it matches…

the cabbie of course would have been identified, but to prove that this guy commited the crime would have been close to impossible.
