A local court has extended the interim bail of accused Sameena Shah till Oct 19 in the Sarah Inam murder case in which her son Shahnawaz Amir is the prime suspect, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

Sameena Shah appeared before the court along with her lawyer on Friday. 

But Additional Sessions Judge Sheikh Sohail adjourned the hearing of the case as he went on leave today due to the death of his mother.

The court put off the hearing till Oct 19.

The court had sought arguments from the petitioner’s lawyer Rao Abdul Rahim today. 

In her petition, Sameena had beseeched the court to accept her pre-arrest bail plea as she was facing health issues. She said that her slain daughter-in-law’s uncle and aunt nominated her in Sarah’s murder case.

A local court in Islamabad on Sept 24 issued arrest warrants for the father and mother of Shahnawaz Amir who was accused of murdering his Canadian wife with dumbbell at his home in Shahzad Town after a row over a "family issue" on Friday.
