LAHORE - Pihak polis Pakistan menahan seorang lelaki dan adiknya kerana mereka disyaki memakan seorang bayi yang baru dilahirkan selepas kepala kanak-kanak itu dijumpai di rumah mereka, kata para pegawai.
Lelaki tersebut, Farman Ali, 37, ditahan sehari selepas polis menangkap abangnya, Mohammad Arif, 40, selepas penemuan kepala bayi di rumah mereka di satu daerah terpencil di wilayah Punjab.
Kedua-dua beradik itu sebelum ini pernah ditahan dan dihukum penjara selama dua tahun kerana memakan mayat wanita berusia 24 tahun dalam satu kes yang mengejutkan negara itu pada 2011.
Mohammad Arif memberitahu polis, Farman Ali mencuri mayat bayi berusia dua hari itu di sebuah tanah perkuburan di Kampung Darya Khan yang terletak kira-kira 300 kilometer dari selatan Islamabad.
Katanya, mereka kemudiannya melapah sebelum memasak dan memakan mayat bayi itu.
Ketua PolisBhakkar, Ameer Abdullah berkata, Farman Ali ditahan pada Selasa lalu dan kedua-dua suspek telah didakwa di sebuah mahkamah.
Polis menyatakan, isteri kedua-dua lelaki itu telah meninggalkan mereka beberapa tahun lalu. - Agensi
Man City top salary chart
Manchester City are the best-paid
sports team in the world, with average first-team pay a whopping £5.3m a
year, or £102,653 per week according to a new report that compares
global earnings in the most popular leagues.
Five Premier League sides make the top 20 on the list, with Liverpool - City’s title showdown opponents from Sunday - in 20th place, earning an average of £3.4m per man per year.
Manchester United are at No 8 on £4.3m per man per year, Champions League semi-finalists Chelsea are at No 10 (nearly £4m) and Arsenal are at No 11 (£3.9m).
Two giants from American baseball, the
New York Yankees and the LA Dodgers, as well as the two giants of
Spanish football, Real Madrid and Barcelona, fill out the top five
behind City.
The top 10 also includes the Brooklyn Nets of the NBA (at No 6), Bayern Munich (No 7), and the Chicago Bulls of the NBA (No 9).
The Global Sports Salaries Survey (GSSS), produced for ESPN The Magazine in the USA, has been tracking comparative pay at major sports teams for five years.
City players were earning an average of just under £1.5m a year each when Sheik Mansour arrived in 2008 but their pay has more than trebled in the six years of his ownership.
Chelsea have also seen their wages and fortunes soar since Roman Abramovich arrived at Stamford Bridge in 2003 but foreign sugar-daddy ownership is not restricted to elite European football.
The Brooklyn Nets were bought in 2010 by one of Abramovich’s fellow Russian billionaires, Mikhail Prokhorov.
Not only is Prokhorov footing the Nets’ $102m (around £61m) total payroll in 2013-14, or £4.5m per player this year, but he will need to pay an additional $70m (around £42m) or thereabouts in luxury tax for exceeding the NBA’s wage cap.
The GSSS looks solely at earnings for playing sport, not for endorsements or other extra-curricular activities. The 2014 report considers 294 teams in 15 leagues in 12 countries across seven different sports: football, baseball, basketball, gridiron, cricket, ice hockey and Aussie Rules football.
The report looks at numbers from either current or most recently completed seasons, depending on availability of accounts and other information.
The NBA is the highest-paying league as a whole, with 441 players at 30 teams in the 2013-14 season earning an average of £2.98m per year each.
The Premier League is the best paying football league in the world, with the average annual pay at £2.27m per player.

High earners: Manchester City have topped a global sports salary list, with their squad paid £5.3m a year
Big spender: City owner Sheik Mansour has invested hundreds of millions into making them title challengers
Blank cheque: Manuel Pellegrini could sign pretty much any player in the world for City

Big hitters: The New York Yankees baseball team ranked second on the earners' list
Coining it in: The Los Angeles Dodgers baseball
team are third on the salary list with an average annual pay of £5.1m
but they moved down from second place last year

On the list: Chelsea were 10th in the rankings
with a £3.9m wage bill and still have a chance of winning the Premier
League title this season
Wealth: Roman Abramovich has poured millions into Chelsea since he became owner in 2003
Close call: Arsenal are just behind Chelsea in
the survey. They advanced to the final of the FA Cup at the weekend,
beating Wigan on penalties at Wembley
Sneaking in: Liverpool came in 20th in the
salary list with an annual spend of £3.4m on wages each year. That could
increase if they win their first league title in 24 years next month
Overpaid? Manchester United came in eighth in
the list but have fallen short in the Premier League and Champions
League this season

Barcelona stars earn £25m over five years...
Barcelona are out of the Champions
League and far from a shoo-in for the La Liga title but at least even
the average players in the Nou Camp squad are unlikely to worry about
money ever again.
A new report on global pay in sport has found an average first-team Barca player has earned £24,995,540 over the past five years, which is more than the average five-year pay at any team in world sport.
The eye-watering sums on offer in elite European football and in the major sports leagues of America effectively mean that a single five-year deal should provide enough money to set up a player for life.
Barcelona’s La Liga rivals have paid
the next most on average in the past five years: £24.4m per player on
average, followed by the New York Yankees of Major League baseball
(£23.6m) and then Manchester City (£20.8m) and Chelsea (£20.4m) of the
Premier League.
Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool all make it into the top 20 alongside globally famous teams such as the LA Lakers of the NBA and the Boston Red Sox baseball team - who are owned, like Liverpool, by John W Henry’s Fenway Sports Group.
The numbers are published today as part of the Global Sports Salaries Survey (GSSS) produced for ESPN The Magazine in the USA. The report looks solely at earnings for playing sport, not for endorsements or other extra-curricular activities.
The five-year earnings list highlights some counter-intuitive findings, including how relatively poorly the average player in the NFL in America is paid. There is a general perception that NFL stars, in an industry awash with cash, all earn bumper pay packets. The reality is a few players on each team earn huge money but many earn ‘only’ hundreds of thousands of dollars per year.
As a result, the best paid NFL team over five years, the Dallas Cowboys, appear only at No93 in the five-year list, with an average player earning ‘only’ £7.8m over five years.
The Cowboys are one place below Everton (£7.87m over five years per average player) and 20 places lower than the best paying NHL ice-hockey team, the Chicago Blackhawks (£9.1m per average player over five years).

That's cool! The Finnish SnowHotel
Located on the Arctic Circle and
built entirely of snow, you would expect this hotel to be quite chilly -
but it is actually a constant zero degrees once you're inside.
The SnowHotel in the Finnish town of Rovaniemi is built each year for the winter season, providing a quiet, snowy escape for tourists.
And if you manage to survive a night in your chilly room you can come away with a 'diploma' on spending the night in Arctic conditions.
While fleece-lined sleeping bags are there to keep out the chill, the hotel also has traditional Finnish saunas to truly help guests thaw out.
And if you fancy looking out for the Northern Lights, you can stay warm by sitting in the outdoor hot tub and sipping a rum toddy.
And if you don't fancy a night in the hotel, you could always head further north and try your own glass igloo - the newly-built accommodation is in Kakslauttanen, even further north into the Arctic Circle.
The unusual transparent mounds emerge from the snow, offering a panoramic view of the night sky, ensuring you'll never miss a chance to spot the Northern Lights and have been built in response to booming tourism to the remote area.
The 15 Arctic Igloos use thermal glass and heated floors so you aren't exposed to the elements and you can ever get breakfast served to the igloo the following morning, meaning you don't have to set foot outside.

Thrills and chills: While the hotel may look chilly, apparently its interior temperature remains at a 'balmy' zero degrees
Cool customer: Two guests enjoy the relative
protection from the elements offered by the hotel, while fur throws on
the bar seats keep diners warm too
