PAKISTAN: FOUR MURDER CONVICTS HANGED IN LAHORE, MULTAN AND SAHIWAL

At least four murder convicts were sent to the gallows in the jails of Lahore, Multan and Sahiwal, raising the total number of executions to 111 since Pakistan reversed the self-imposed moratorium on the death penalty in December 2014 after the Taliban school massacre.
Two death row inmates were executed in Lahore’s Kot Lakhpat Central Jail. One of them, identified as Ehsaan, was sentenced to death by an anti-terrorism court (ATC) for killing a person in 2002, while Rashid Muneer, had killed two people, Khalid and Imtiaz, over a minor dispute in 1991.
Abdul Ghaffar was executed in Multan Central Jail for killing his wife and two other people in 1999 over a family dispute.
Mohammad Wazir was hanged in Sahiwal Central Jail for killing a man in Rajanpur in 1991.
Meanwhile, murder convict Mohammad Saleem got a reprieve as the aggrieved side approached the magistrate with the deal document at the eleventh hour. Saleem had killed his cousin in 2004.
