Two Sisters Arrested For Setting Father On Fire In Revenge For Rape
Two teenage step-sisters were arrested in Pakistan’s Gujranwala, for allegedly setting their father on fire, leading to his death.
The teenage girls, according to a police report on Wednesday, took to the action, after their father allegedly raped one of them.
The father died on Tuesday from injuries sustained in the January 1st attack.
The girls confessed to the act, according to police official Rizwan Tariq, who said, “The girls said that they decided amongst themselves to find a ‘permanent solution’,” Tariq told AFP.
The sisters obtained petrol from a motorcycle and set their father ablaze while he slept.

They alleged he had been raping the older sister for a year and had twice attempted to rape the younger sister.
Their mothers, both married to the deceased man, were aware of the alleged abuse but not the plan for revenge.
One of the mothers is under arrest, while the other is being questioned. The police are withholding the father’s name to protect the girls’ identities.
“We expect to present them before the court in a few days, as soon as we finish the investigation,” Tariq added.
