As headlines splashed across major news outlets on September 23, “Senior journalist Ayaz Amir’s son detained after wife found dead in Islamabad,” just over a year after the cold-blooded murder of Noor Mukadam, a 27-year-old who was ruthlessly murdered by Zahir Jaffer in Islamabad last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shahnawaz allegedly killed Sarah at her home in Islamabad’s Chak Shahzad area after a dispute over a petty “family issue”. When he was detained by the police as the prime suspect, he confessed to killing Sarah, saying he thought his spouse was having an affair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sarah’s Career Friends and family reported that she had a master’s degree from the University of Waterloo and worked in the UAE government sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A friend and colleague described Sarah as a “voracious reader and thinker” who was deeply passionate about her profession, history, and religion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ‘Kindest, smartest, gentlest’ “A cruel man took away Sarah’s innocence and naivet\u00e9 by his cruel actions. It’s unfathomable,” he wrote on a widely circulated Facebook post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Nash, Sarah had friends all over the world, from Pakistan to Canada to the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Web Desk — Just after three months of her marriage to Ayaz Amir’s son Shahnawaz, Sarah Inam, 37, was allegedly murdered brutally by her husband.
