An intimate Facebook affair between a single man, 25-year old Awais Akram, and a married woman, 24-year old businesswoman Sadia Khatoon resulted in a vicious “honor” revenge attack using sulphuric acid that turned Awais into a zombie.



The revenge was planned by Sadia’s husband, 32-year old Shakeel Abassi.

The Old Bailey heard when Ms Khatoon’s husband Shakeel Abassi found out about the online conversations, he got his 24-year-old wife to lure the victim out of his flat, where concentrated sulphuric acid was poured over his head. The jury was told that during the attack the men received instructions from Mr Abassi, 32, who was in a hotel room near Heathrow with his wife. Ms Khatoon and her husband later disappeared in Pakistan and detectives said they now feared for her safety. Source: news.bbc.co.uk

The attack involved Sadia’s brother Mohammed Vakas and cousin Mohammed Adeel who recruited a 16-year-old youth – all three have been found guilty.





Mrs Khatoon, then aged 23, helped him find a flat in Leytonstone when he arrived in East London. But their relationship became known to her family, including her husband Shakeel Abassi. Mr Akram was beaten to the ground, stabbed and then doused with sulphuric acid. He was left in agony, to get help from nearby householders who heard his screams.Source: www.eastlondonadvertiser.co.uk

He suffered 47% burns during the attack in which he was also beaten and stabbed. Mr Akram was also left blind in his right eye, suffered facial fractures and had to have both ears amputated. Prosecutor David Markham said: “A witness was to see the victim as he begged for help, with his clothes in tatters and literally falling off him from the acid and blood coming from his nose and eyes and covering his bare chest. “The witness told police the figure looked like a cross between a zombie from a horror movie and the Incredible Hulk.” Source: news.bbc.co.uk

It seems like Sadia was also jealous as Awais was planning to fly to Pakistan to get married.

Speaking about the relationship, Mr Akram said they ended up seeing each other nearly every day and, although it did not go beyond kisses and touching, it was clear to him she “did want to have sexual relations”. Ms Khatoon was also jealous about his plans to go to Pakistan to get married but the wedding went ahead in May. Source: news.bbc.co.uk

Makes you wonder if these men involved in the “honor” revenge attack are actually animals? I understand the husband getting pissed off by the event, but woman’s brother and niece involvement is just plain stupid.
