Noor Mukadam (Urdu: نور مقدم; 23 October 1993 – 20 July 2021) was a Pakistani victim of murder. She was 27 years old and the daughter of a former diplomat, Shaukat Mukadam.[1][2] She was murdered at a house in an upscale neighborhood, Sector F-7/4, of Islamabad, on 20 July 2021.[3][4] Noor was held hostage for two days, tortured with a knuckleduster, then decapitated with a knife.[5] Noor was raped before being murdered.[5][6]
The murder suspect was identified as 27-year-old Zahir Jaffer who was arrested at the scene of the crime and taken to the police station.[7] The parents and household staff of Jaffer were arrested for hiding evidence and complicity,[8] because Noor made multiple escape attempts but the household staff refused to permit her to leave.[9] The murder was premeditated as Jaffer later confessed to police that he intended to kill Noor if she refused to accept his marriage proposal.[5]
Zahir Jaffer was sentenced to death for the murder of Noor Mukadam by Islamabad session court in February 2022, while Jaffer's guards Iftikhar and Mohammad Jan were given ten years of imprisonment.[10]
