There is no blood money in case of intentional killing. It is straight hell, no forgiveness, no room for ifs and buts.
It is very clear in Quran. Verse 4:92 (permits blood money in case of an unintentional killing) verse 4:93 needs no molvi's interpretation
"And whoever kills a believer intentionally, their reward will be Hell—where they will stay indefinitely. Allah will be displeased with them, condemn them, and will prepare for them a tremendous punishment."

Pakistan's judicial system is corrupt, incompetent, unjust and delays justice by unreasonable high number of years and decades.
In Pakistan, intentional murders are turned into unintentional accidents by putting pressure on the family of the victim. Thus the payment of blood money and off you go.
The parliament has tried to redress some of this through introducing laws that make the state a party to many such crimes so even if the perpetrator tries to pressure the other side to take blood money, the state can still prosecute/punish the perpetrator. This is in theory, it has not worked at scale.
The reality of the situation is that just yesterday everyone was asking for an example to be made of the perpetrator. The state just did that and I think its fair to say it has shocked the system for a lot of people.
However, as many here are noting, the Punjab police has been getting around the court backlog through these measures for a couple of years now.
One is not sure how to digest this whole affair. The anger at the death of an innocent child, followed immediately by straight-forward extra-judicial killing of the perpetrator.
One can also say at least there is no doubt as to the crime committed by the perpetrator so the death sentence carried out was just, however the manner of it, i.e., without due process, causes some unease.
All above aside, serious questions should be asked of the orphanage that sent this poor child to these thugs. Why is an orphanage sending a school-aged kid to learn trade work when he should be in school (which by the way is another massive crime against children in Pakistan)?
