A Rawalpindi trial court on Wednesday sentenced ‘habitual’ paedophile Sohail Ayaz to death on three counts apart from awarding him three sentences of rigorous imprisonment for abducting and raping young boys and for recording and disseminating the heinous acts. Ayaz has previously been convicted of similar crimes in the UK and Italy before being deported to Pakistan. The Additional District and Sessions Judge Jehangir Ali Gondal on Wednesday issued a written verdict wherein the court found Ayaz and his accomplice Khurram Tahir guilty of kidnapping three children. The court noted that even though Ayaz is highly educated, “instead of serving humanity in useful manners, he misused his capabilities in destroying the bright future of minors. Judge Gondal further termed Ayaz’s act as “inhuman, rather worse than beasts” because even beasts do not ravage the innocence of cubs.
