ISLAMABAD: Two more death row convicts were executed in separate cities of Pakistan on Wednesday morning.
According to details, a convict Ameer Hamza was hanged to death in Balochistan province’s Mach Jail while Sikandar was executed in Central Jail Bahawalpur.
Additional Session Judge Sibi awarded death penalty to Ameer Hamza back in 2004 for killing a citizen over a minor dispute in 1995. This is the first execution in Balochistan after 7 yeras.
The former army man killed a fellow soldier in Sukkur back in 2002.
Pakistan lifted the moratorium on death penalty on Dec. 17, a day after Pakistani Taliban gunmen attacked Army Public School in Peshawar and killed 134 students and 19 adults.
