Hanged for Raping Seven-Year-Old Minor

A man sentenced to death for raping and killing a seven-year-old minor was executed in eastern Pakistan after the president turned down his plea for clemency. Ahmed was arrested in 1998 on charges of abducting, raping and killing the girl in Multan. A year later, a court sentenced Ahmed to death, and two higher courts, including the Supreme Court, later rejected his appeals.
