ISLAMABAD: Twitterati on Sunday demanded capital punishment, mostly in the form of hanging to death, for Zahir Jaffer after surfacing of surveillance camera footages related to Noor Mukadam’s murder in Islamabad.

Then, in one video of July 20, she is seen jumping in the porch area of the house from first floor in a desperate bid to flee from the house, but the watchman blocks her way.

The 27-year-old woman can also be seen in a video begging from Zahir Jaffer, 30, to let her go.
