"A nine-month-old baby boy has been taken into hiding by relatives after he was charged with attempted murder in Pakistan.

In a case that has cast increasing scrutiny on Pakistan's criminal justice system, baby Musa Khan appeared in court in the city of Lahore last week, charged with attempted murder along with his father and grandfather.

The charges arose after a mob protesting against gas cuts and price increases stoned police and gas company workers who were attempting to collect overdue bills.

Baby Musa is on bail and due to appear at the next hearing on April 12."

Did this not happen last week? Someone even lost their job over it and the charges were dropped

Top-notch work by the Sunday World as usual!

It's a true story ,

Apparently the child has since been moved to relatives for its protection ,

And to think all the PC brigade jumping up and down over traveller kids on the pulse system ,

Imagine the horror of actually charging a child with a crime

Just cos a kid has been arrested in Pakistan, doesn't mean people can't complain about issues in Ireland.

Yeah - I heard there's a crowd of toddlers heading to the Dáil en masse right now. Should be in their beds. I blame the parents.

Actually, I just Googled there and loads of places arw=e reporting that the kid's gone into hiding so maybe he was charged again? It's feckin mental anyway.

I think Pakistan might be trolling people. There's no way they're gonna lock an infant up for attempted murder!

I'm sorry, and I shouldn't laugh, but does anyone else find this sentence hilariously preposterous?

"Baby Musa is on bail and due to appear at the next hearing on April 12."

Oh God, stop laughing sopretty.

I honestly think there's a lot of bull**** attached to the story. It almost seems designed to sell newspapers and spark outrage in the West. If people have already lost their jobs over it and politicians have condemned it then why would the police be following through with the case?

It's the father and grandfather that allegedly committed the crime. The child was charged by corrupt police. Kinda like how that Looney Tunes in North Korea holds three generations responsible for one person's crime. Crazy stuff.

All the outrage from people and no one has even asked if he did it.Could be guilty as ****.

El Guapo!

Already a thread on this.
