The State - News from Dec. 17, 1987

A physician accused of dismembering his 11-year-old son pleaded not guilty in Pomona Municipal Court and won dismissal of a “special circumstances” death penalty demand. But the prosecutor said he will seek either death or life in prison for Dr. Khalid Parwez, 38, in a higher court. The remains of Parwez’s son, Raheel, were discovered Nov. 17 in a trash bin in Hacienda Heights. His body had been cut into more than 200 pieces. The boy’s uncle is a fugitive in the slaying.
