A primary court in eastern Kunar province of Afghanistan sentenced an Afghan man death for beheading a young 17 years old Aghan girl in this province.
Two other Afghan men who were also involved in the beheading of the Afghan girl were sentenced to 17 years in jail.
The men were accused of beheading a young Afghan girl — Shabana after they failed to took her with themselves around three months back.
The court verdict was announced in the presence of several local residents including an Afghan child who was witness of the incident.
In the meantime father of the victim said he received death threats before the incident to kill his daughter if they did not accept to marry her with them.
Death sentence has been affirmed in the Afghan constitution however only fewer cases of death pentaly have been performed by the Afghan government during the past ten years after the fall of the Taliban regime.
On the other hand the Afghan judiciary system has been strictly criticized for growing corruptions.
Afghans are expecting strict penalties for the war criminals, suicide bombing convicts and other anti-government militants.
Recent reports suggest that a number of Afghans have been referring their legal cases to Taliban militants due to lack of confidence to Afghan government judiciary systems.
