A woman who was the victim in a high-profile killing in Pakistan was also formerly a student at the University of Waterloo, the school confirmed on Monday.
A University of Waterloo spokesperson said that Sara Inam, 37, graduated in 2005 with an honours degree in Economics & Arts and in 2007 with a masters in Economics.
Inam was killed Friday at a home she shared in Islamabad with Shahnawaz Amir, her husband of four months, according to the Associated Press.
The report says that police say Amir has confessed to hitting Inam repeatedly with a dumbbell before trying to hide her body in a bathtub.
Amir’s father Ayaz, who is a well-known columnist and TV political analyst in Pakistan, has also been arrested, police told AP.
The Associated Press noted that Pakistan has a bad track record regarding freedom of expression and several journalists have been assaulted and detained by police in recent months.
