PAKISTAN: ONE MORE MURDER CONVICT HANGED IN VEHARI

another murder convict was hanged at the district jail of Vehari, raising the total number of executions to 99 since Pakistan reversed the self-imposed moratorium on the death penalty in December 2014 after the Taliban school massacre.
Abdul Ghafoor had abducted his eight-year niece and killed her after sexual assault in Kahror Pakka on 20 June 1991. The convict suspected his wife to be in illicit relationship with his brother.
