In 2000, a notorious child serial killer from Pakistan, Javed Iqbal, was sentenced to be strangled to death with an iron chain, then his corpse to be cut up into 100 small pieces and his body dissolved in acid in front of the parents of his victims.

Javed Iqbal Mughal (1961 – 8 October 2001) was a Pakistani serial killer and child molester who confessed to the sexual abuse and murder of 100 young boys, ranging in age from 6 to 16. His victims were strangled, dismembered, and then dissolved in acid to destroy any evidence

At his trial, Iqbal was found guilty and sentenced to death, with his execution to take place in front of the victims' parents and be conducted in the same manner that he killed the boys.


However, Interior Minister Moinuddin Haider later decided against this. Iqbal died by suicide before any sentence could be carried out.

A Notorious Criminal's Fate

In 2000, Pakistan witnessed a shocking case involving Javed Iqbal, a notorious child serial killer. Initially sentenced to a gruesome death involving strangulation, dismemberment into 100 pieces, and dissolution in acid – all to be carried out in front of the parents of his victims – this sentence was later reconsidered by Interior Minister Moinuddin Haider.

Ultimately, Javed Iqbal took his own life before any official sentence could be carried out. The case remains a dark chapter in the history of criminal justice, highlighting the complexities and ethical considerations surrounding severe punishments.

  German women were raped by all armies at the end of the second world war From the archive, 17 June 1955: Berlin woman's memoir of mass rape reviewed Controversial book suggests many Berlin women were raped by drunken Red Army soldiers during the second world war Observer, 19 June 2005: When rape was a spoil of war Two years after the end of the war Berlin still smelled of death. Each street contained dozens of ruins and every ruin, especially after rain had fallen and there was still a dampness in the air, retained the same sickly smell. It may have been, as some Germans honestly believed, corpses buried beneath them, or it may have been the state of the drains. It may simply have been the projection of a short but stormy past into the greyness of that particularly uninviting present. A Woman in Berlin (Secker and Warburg, pp. 284, 15s) tells the story of a single German woman of middle-class family, living in the Neu-Kölln district of Berlin. This district has not

Terrible! "Wooden Horse Or Spanish Donkey" Method Of Punishment

Image
The wooden horse, or Spanish donkey, was an extremely painful and gruesome medieval torture device.  It was first used by the Holy Inquisition in France and then in Spain and Germany, and then migrated to the Americas, gaining prominence during the colonial period.  The main design was the same wherever it was used.  It was a triangular wooden box with a very sharp top end (ie where the horse's spine would be).  The apparatus was constructed of wood, with planks nailed together to form a long, tapered ridge, which would serve as the horse's back.  These were supported by four legs attached to a bracket, about 6 or 7 feet (1.8 to 2.1 metres) high, with wheels fitted to the bottom of the legs so that the entire device could roll across the ground.  A head and tail would be attached to make the torture device look like an almost “fun” huge wooden horse.  The defendant would be mounted on the horse, with ankle weights and hands tied behind his ba
