Why It's a "Must-Go"
Javed Iqbal, who dissolved 100 children in acid, was sentenced to be strangled and cut into 100 pieces. He cheated the hangman by committing suicide in his cell. He was buried in a prison graveyard because his family didn't want him.
His grave is unmarked and unloved. It's a fitting end for a man who tried to erase so many others. He is now the one who has been erased.
The "Experience"
Grim. It's a prison graveyard in Pakistan. There's no glory here, just the dirt covering a monster. He wanted to be famous, but he ended up as just another mound of earth.
Why This Listing Exists
Javed Iqbal was a Pakistani serial killer who confessed to the sexual abuse and murder of 100 young boys in Lahore in 1998 and 1999. He strangled his victims and dissolved their bodies in vats of acid.
He sent a letter to the police confessing to the crimes and then surrendered. He was sentenced to death, with the judge ordering that he be strangled with the same chain he used on his victims and cut into 100 pieces in front of the parents.
However, Iqbal committed suicide in his cell in October 2001 before the sentence could be carried out. He was buried in a graveyard near Kot Lakhpat Jail.
