A Pakistani teenager has been sentenced to 100 years in prison after being convicted of murdering four members of his own family, officials confirmed on Wednesday.
The verdict, delivered by a local court, imposed four consecutive life sentences of 25 years each, reflecting the severity of the crime while taking into account the defendant’s age. A court official explained that the judge noted the young offender’s age but emphasized that the gravity of the killings demanded the strictest punishment available under law.
The shocking case, which has drawn nationwide attention, highlights both the tragedy of familial violence and the judiciary’s stance on accountability, even for young offenders. Authorities said the ruling serves as a stern warning and a step toward justice for the victims’ relatives.
