A husband and wife in northeast Pakistan have been arrested in connection to the death of a 13-year-old girl who was employed as a maid for the couple.

Rashid Shafiq and his wife Sana were detained on suspicion of murder, while a Quran teacher who worked for them was also arrested, the BBC reported on Tuesday, Feb. 18.

The victim, identified only as Iqra, allegedly stole chocolate from the couple before being tortured to death, according to a preliminary police investigation.

The teen died last Wednesday, Feb. 12.

The Quran teacher reportedly brought Iqra to a hospital but left after falsely telling the staff that Iqra’s dad was deceased and her mother was not active in her life. It is unclear if the teacher believed the parents' status to be the truth.

Iqra’s father, a 45-year-old farmer named Sana Ullah, told the BBC that the 13-year-old was working for the Shafiq family because Ullah was in debt. The child made approximately $28 per month.

"I felt completely shattered inside when she died," Ullah told the BBC.

According to the grieving father, police contacted him last Wednesday to tell him his daughter had been hospitalized. When he arrived at the medical facility, Iqra was unconscious and died minutes later from multiple injuries.

Preliminary findings suggested the torture and abuse had been frequent. “Pictures and videos obtained by the BBC showed multiple fractures in her legs and arms, as well as a serious injury to her head,” the outlet reported.

Human rights activist Shehr Bano condemned the abuse via social media.

"My heart cries tears of blood. How many... are subjected to violence in their homes every day for a trivial job of a few thousand?" she wrote on X. "How long will the poor continue to lower their daughters into graves in this way?"

Bano’s post contained video and a photo of the 13-year-old’s injuries as she lay in her hospital bed. The hashtag #JusticeforIqra was included in the tweet.

While Ullah told the BBC he wants to see "those responsible for my daughter's death punished," the outlet says, “It's rare for suspects to be successfully prosecuted” for these types of cases.

An autopsy will determine the full extent of Iqra’s injuries.

"With Trump set to take office on Jan. 20, Canadian companies are rightly highly concerned.

Justin Theroux and Nicole Brydon Bloom detail lively wedding weekend celebrations
Justin Theroux and Nicole Brydon Bloom's wedding celebrations featured stilt walkers, a bonfire on the beach and "mermaid" swimming. The couple - who got engaged ast summer after two years of dating - tied the knot over the weekend at the Hotel Esencia in Xpu Há, Mexico, where they had previously enjoyed a weekend away, and wanted their guests to enjoy a "taste of [their] dream weekend in the Mayan Riviera paradise". The guests spent Thursday (13.03.25) night on the beach with a bonfire, before the couple held their rehearsal dinner the following evening. Those celebratios began with cocktails on the roof terrace before toasts from friends and family by the pool. Nicole told Vogue magazine: “Many tears were shed and we were overwhelmed with gratitude for the people who have made such a huge impact on our lives, both as individuals and as a couple." They then enjoyed more drinks, using local vendors and entertainers, and "got the party started". The 30-year-old actress noted: “Our band for the night, The Cubanismos, really got the party started. As did the stilt walkers!” The wedding ceremony took place at 5pm on Saturday (15.03.25), but the weather meant a slight change of plans with the venue. Nicole - who wore a custom gown by her friend Victoria Beckham - explained: “We had initially wanted to get married down by the water, but when we woke up on Saturday morning, the wind was incredibly strong and sand was whipping around. We pulled the ceremony back into a tucked away cove. The ocean was still visible but we were protected under a canopy of palm trees.” The 'Paradise' star's sister sang 'Moon River' as she walked down the aisle. Nicole said: “It was so moving to hear her beautiful voice wafting over the soft waves as my step-father Dan McNulty and I made our way through all our family and friends toward Justin at the end of the aisle." The pair have opted to keep the contents of their wedding vows private. Justin said: “All I’ll say is, it was wonderful. Ceremonies with vows are about the words contained within them. And they are better left un-described here. That being said, the officiant said some wonderful things, and my wife was just… well, incredibly touching. I was very moved.” Nicole added: "I kept saying I felt so at peace and so loved all weekend. "Our officiant and my brother-in-law, Patrick McQuade, had us take a moment at the top of our ceremony to face our guests and really soak in the moment. I was overwhelmed with gratitude, love, and joy. "To see so many faces smiling back at me from so many different walks of life and generations felt incredibly grounding and magical. Looking into Justin’s kind, hazel eyes during the ceremony made me feel very safe and loved.” After saying I do, the 53-year-old actor and his new wife took 10 minutes to themselves before kicking off their celebrations. Nicole said: “It was the greatest little reset before rejoining our favorite people for cocktail hour on the lawn." Eliot Sumner opened the reception with two songs before speeches came from Nicole's stepfather and her two sisters, who were joint maids of honour. Nicole said: “All three speeches moved me to tears. Justin’s best men were fantastic and had all our guests belly laughing by the end of their toasts.” A mariachi band played while the couple headed to the floor for their first dance to 'I've Told Every Little Star' by Linda Scott. Justin said: “A first dance and an homage to David Lynch." Nicole added: "We danced for three hours straight with all our guests beneath a canopy of disco balls. My 93-year-old grandma, Laura Bloom, was the life of the party.” The guests who celebrated until the end found themselves inside a little speakeasy within the hotel. Nicole said: “It was rowdy with great music—and Patrick, our officiant, just kept yelling ‘This is the best night of my life!’ "A few mermaids ended up swimming in the pool above. It was the perfect celebratory way to end a fabulous weekend!”
