The suspect has confessed, the official said. "He was arrested before, but was released as we did not have evidence. After that, he shaved his beard off so that no one could recognise him." The rape and murder of Zainab Ansari was the 12th such case in Kasur district in the last year, according to local media reports. The incident led to angry protest in various parts of Kasur that resulted in at least two deaths and several injuries.
