    The accused in Zainab murder case on Tuesday confessed to his crime and said that he chose child girls as it is easy to carry out any activity with them.

    The accused admitted that he had raped nine girls including Zainab on which the judge gave him 40 minutes to take his time and consult with his counsel before giving his statement again.

    When the court proceedings began after 40 minutes, the accused once again admitted his crime on which the court asked the prosecution to record the testimony of the accused.
    The sources said that it took more than four hours to record the testimony of the accused due to his long list of heinous crimes. The court also allowed the prosecution to record testimonies of the witnesses.

    The anti-terrorism court on Monday indicted Imran Ali, who is accused of raping and killing eight-year old Zainab.

    The case proceedings were been carried out at a special anti-terror court in Kot Lakhpat Jail.
