"A Pakistani man demanding justice after his pregnant wife was murdered outside Lahore's high court this week admitted yesterday to strangling his first wife...
Muhammad Iqbal, the 45-year-old husband of Farzana Parveen, who was beaten to death by 20 male relatives on Tuesday, said he strangled his first wife in order to marry Parveen. He avoided a prison sentence after his family used Islamic provisions of Pakistan's legal system to forgive him – precisely those he has insisted should not be available to his second wife's killers...Police confirmed the killing happened six years ago and he was released after a 'compromise' with his family."
