‘Walk Seven Steps With Me, Then You Can Shoot Me’: Woman’s Chilling Final Words Before Brother Executes Her on Camera

A Nation in Shock After Horrific ‘Honour Killing’ Goes Viral

A horrifying video capturing the cold-blooded murder of a woman and her alleged lover in a desolate region of southwest Pakistan has sent a shockwave across the nation, igniting unprecedented outrage over the brutal practice of so-called “honour killings.”

The chilling footage, which has spread like wildfire online, has shattered the typical silence surrounding such atrocities and forced a national conversation about the clash between archaic tribal codes and state law.

In the grainy video, the victim, identified as Bano Bibi, is seen being confronted by a group of men in the desert. In a moment of terrifying calm, a man police have identified as her own brother, Jalal Satakzai, hands her a Koran. Her haunting final request is captured for the world to hear: "Come walk seven steps with me, after that you can shoot me."

Bibi takes a few steps, stops, and turns her back. Seconds later, her brother fires three shots, and she collapses to the ground. The gunman then turns his weapon on the man accused of being her lover, Ehsan Ullah Samalani, executing him as well.

While hundreds of honour killings are reported in Pakistan annually, they are often shrouded in secrecy and met with public and legal indifference. This case is different. The raw, unfiltered brutality of the video has struck a nerve, making it impossible for society to look away. The visual evidence has galvanized calls for justice from every corner of the country, with citizens and activists demanding an end to the impunity that perpetrators of such crimes have long enjoyed.

The incident throws a harsh spotlight on deep-seated tribal customs where mere accusations of adultery can serve as a death sentence, carried out by family members in the name of preserving family “honour.” As the footage continues to circulate, a nation is grappling with the disturbing reality of these acts.

The public outcry is now putting immense pressure on authorities to act decisively, not just to bring Bibi’s and Samalani’s killers to justice, but to confront the cultural norms that allow such barbarism to persist. The question on everyone’s mind is whether this viral tragedy will finally be the catalyst for meaningful change, or if it will fade away like so many before it.
