Her murder triggered rioting in Pakistan and rippled the world-over, and on Saturday the man convicted in 7-year-old Zainab Ansari's death was sentenced to die four times over.
Mohammad Imran, a local man who knew Zainab's family, pleaded guilty to raping and killing the little girl, reports The Associated Press.
Her body was found on a trash heap on Jan. 9 in the city of Kasur near Lahore, four days after she was reported missing.
Prosecutors say Imran, 24, is a serial killer who has also admitted to killing several other children.
