LAHORE, Pakistan: A Pakistan court on Wednesday sentenced four men to death for murdering a pregnant woman bludgeoned to death in the center of the country’s second-largest city for marrying against her family’s wishes.

A mob of more than two dozen attackers, among them numerous relatives including the victim’s father and brother, battered Farzana Parveen to death with bricks outside the High Court in the eastern city of Lahore in May. So-called “honor” killings are commonplace in Pakistan but the brutal and brazen nature of the attack on 25-year-old Parveen meant the case made headlines around the world.

“The court today awarded death sentences to four accused — the father, brother, cousin and ex-husband of the victim — for murder and terrorism,” prosecutor Rai Asif Mehmood told AFP.

Mehmood said the sentences were handed down for three counts — murder, terrorism and the killing of an unborn baby — and the court had also fined each defendant 100,000 rupees ($1,000).
