The Pederast and Serial Killer of Pakistan
A man who wanted 100 mothers to cry.
Javed Iqbal aka Kukri was a serial killer and pederast who was found guilty of raping and killing 100 boys of age ranging from 6 to 16.
Early Life
Javed Iqbal was born in 1956 in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. He was the sixth child and the fourth son of his parents. His father Mohammad Ali Mughal was a well-off businessman. Javed Iqbal did his matriculation from Government Islamia High School. In 1978, he did the Intermediate from Islamia College, Railway Road, Lahore. His father being a well-settled person, bought two villas in an area of Sadhbagh. Javed started his own business of steel recasting in one of his father’s villas and lived there for a few years, along with some boys.
Objective
The seed of hatred and anger was sown when Javed was arrested by the Lahore, Punjab police under an act of buggery against a runaway boy in the 1990s. No charges were brought against this offence. His mother died of a fatal heart attack while he was in jail. Her death set a fire in his heart and gave a rise to his anger. Therefore, he chose to make 100 other mothers cry and suffer from the pain his mother suffered before she passed away.
Crime and Confession
In a letter sent to police and a local newspaper of Lahore, Javed confessed his crime of raping and killing 100 boys, aged from 6 to 16. He also confessed to strangling and unmembering the victims. He targeted the orphans and runaways living on the streets of Lahore. After killing them, he disposed of the victims’ bodies using hydrochloric acid and threw the remains in the local river. He also wrote that he planned to drown himself in River Ravi. This news shocked the whole country and the police immediately launched the biggest manhunt in the history of Pakistan.
From his house, Police found the pictures of victims in a plastic bag, blood strains and chains which he used to strangle the victims and drums with not completely dissolved remains of the victims.
Arrest and death
Four of his partners, who shared a three-bedroom flat with him, were arrested in Sohawa. One of them died from jumping from the window while in police custody.
A month later, Javed turned himself in at the office of Daily Jung on 30th December 1999. He stated that he turned himself in because he feared for his life and that the police might kill him.
Police and the investigation team also found the diary which had the names and the pictures of all the boys he raped, killed, unmembered and disposed of. Despite that, he claimed to be innocent in court and stated that the whole affair was to draw attention to the difficulty of runaways from poor families. Hundred of witnesses testified against Iqbal and all of his partners and him were found guilty.
A judge of the Islamic State of Pakistan ruled that Iqbal should be killed the same way he killed his victims. He should be executed in the same square where he used to search for the victims and his body will be cut into 100 pieces and disposed of in the acid. A week later, an Islamic Scholar said that it will go against Islamic principles. That would desecrate the killer’s dead body.
October 2001, Iqbal Javed and one of his partners were found dead in their shared prison cell. According to jail authorities, they committed suicide by hanging themselves using bedsheets. There is still no clear evidence if it was really a suicide or the jail authority was so done with their disgust that they did it by themselves.
