- Maham Amjad’s father was gunned down by a colleague in Karachi in 2008 following a dispute, and the suspect fled to Dubai a few months later
- The marketing expert and model also moved to Dubai, where she tracked down the man after seeing his LinkedIn profile in 2020
A Pakistani man will stand trial for a murder committed 15 years ago after his dramatic arrest in Dubai where he was traced by the victim’s daughter through a LinkedIn profile, officials said on Friday.
Mohamed Ahmed Amjad, 44, was gunned down by a colleague in the southern Pakistani city of Karachi in 2008 following a work-related dispute, police official Irfan Baloch said.
The suspect fled Pakistan months after the incident and started living in Dubai in hiding, Baloch said.
The victim’s daughter, Maham Amjad, who was 15 at the time of her father’s death and now works as a marketing expert and model, also moved to Dubai. There, she tracked down the man after seeing his LinkedIn profile in 2020.
She collected the court and police records from Pakistan through her contacts and the man was arrested after she provided the evidence, she said on Twitter.
