Shopkeeper who ‘concocted’ an ‘evil’ plot to kill his 38-year-old wife jailed for life
A shopkeeper has been jailed for life after masterminding an elaborate plot to kill his wife.
Abdul Sattar, 49, travelled from Scotland to Pakistan in 2013 for a holiday with his spouse Mumtaz.
But, within hours of arriving, the 38-year-old had been killed and dumped at the roadside.
Sattar claimed they had both been given drug-laced tea during the taxi ride from the airport before being attacked and robbed by the driver.
But his 'wildly concocted' story quickly unravelled and he and three other men were charged with murder.
Now, two years after charges were brought, Sattar – who owned a newsagents in Port Glasgow, Renfrewshire – and his accomplices have been jailed for life.
They were found guilty at the High Court in Lahore, Pakistan, of doping, robbing and murdering Mrs Sattar.
The couple were married for 14 years and had two daughters, but their marriage is said to have been marred by 'sustained domestic violence'.
On Saturday, the court also fined the men around £5,000 each and ordered that the imprisonment should be accompanied by hard labour.
