JAKARTA - Shahzaib Khan, a man -- more accurately than calling him a father -- has the heart to kill his 7-day-old baby daughter. Five bullets lodged in her daughter's body just because she wanted a baby boy.

The incident that occurred on March 7 has caused a stir in Pakistan. Residents immediately reacted and sparked anger. They spill all their frustration on social media.

"This is beyond barbaric, brutal and cruel. The only solution to stop this brutality is to hang him in public," wrote the netizen.

"I feel disgusted to the core. I feel so sorry for mom. Look at the beautiful daughter she has. Women lead the world, it's 2022," wrote another netizen quoted from The Sun, Monday 14 March.

Foreign media even called Shahzaib Khan a monster.

Indeed, what Shahzaib Khan did was absurd. Tega pulled the trigger of his gun and showered his tiny baby with five shots.

Three days after the incident in Mianwali city, located in Punjab province, police managed to arrest Shahzaib Khan

Relatives of this family admit that Shahzaib Khan was furious after learning that his wife gave birth to a baby girl, not a boy as he had hoped for his eldest child.

When he found out his wife gave birth to a girl, the perpetrator did not want to enter the house. Then there was a fight over the baby. When the family tried to take the baby away, Shahzaib Khan got angry and threatened to shoot him.

Quoted from the Mirror, rights groups say female infanticide is widespread in Pakistan. In fact, more than 500 baby bodies have been found dumped in the last two years. Most are girls.

Families are believed to often do not want daughters, given that they are expected to pay a dowry when they marry.

And the country has a strong 'honour' culture, where a woman can easily tarnish her family's 'reputation' through certain behaviors - usually sex-related.
