Such things will continue unabated till power of Feudal lords is there. And Feudal lords continue to enjoy unconditional support of rulers. No witness will dare to say truth.

Those witnesses who keep on changing their views should be prosecuted for perjury.

There is one solution, send the witness to jail for perjury or provide protection to the witness. When there is no justice ? People take law in their own hand, which is very dangerous for the survival of country.

In India, in such a case, the media-face-book,twitter etc. took up the issue forcefully and the government buckled. So much so that the murderer was punished.

In Pakistan our democracy is depending on Fedural lords . We live in medieval ages of land lords and rich industrial owners. This can never be fixed.
