Murder At The Shrine

The first case ‘Murder at the Shrine’ witnesses the trial of Babar Islam, a man who stands accused of killing a holy man at a shrine where they both worked. At first glance, the case against him seems powerful. His legal-aid defence attorney is inexperienced in criminal law. His prosecutor, one of Lahore’s most powerful lawyers, is confident he will get the death penalty. But Babar Islam insists he is innocent, and as the credibility of the evidence is stripped away there is a mounting sense that he may be executed for a crime he did not commit.
