The infamous murderer Javed Iqbal have had sexually abused and killed more than 100 children in Lahore between 1998 and 1999. He later dissolved the dead bodies in acid to get rid of the evidence.
The case was a particularly macabre one as the killer not only tortured and murdered the children but also butchered and dissolved their bodies in acid to get rid of the evidence. He was sentenced to death in the same way. He was found dead in his jail cell on October 9, 2001.
