A LAHORE court has acquitted the Bishop of Raiwind and seven co-defendants of murder.
Last Friday Sessions Judge Abdul Karim Langah dismissed all charges against the Rt Rev Samuel Azariah (pictured) and his co-defendants, finding they were innocent of the 2006 murder of Khalida Gill.
On April 24, 2006, three men entered the home of Nathanial Gill, an attorney litigating a land dispute case against the diocese of Raiwind. The intruders shot Mrs Gill, who died three days later without having regained consciousness.
Two days after the shooting, Nathaniel Gill filed a complaint with the police alleging that one Salman Shaukat had murdered his wife on the orders of Bishop Azariah and other leaders of the diocese. Gill’s complaint stated he had been the target of the assassins, who sought to kill him because of the land dispute. Not finding him home, they turned their guns upon his wife, he charged.
