RAWALPINDI: Four death row prisoners were hanged early Tuesday in different jails across Punjab province.
Murder convict Hubdar Hussain Shah was executed at the central jail in Mianwali. Hussain was convicted of killing two brothers over personal enmity in 2000.
Hussain's hanging had previously been scheduled for March 25, but had been halted on the request of the victim's families. However, the execution was carried out today after an agreement could not be reached between the two parties.
Death row prisoner Ikramul Haq was hanged at the Attock Central jail. Haq was convicted of kidnapping a three-year-old girl for ransom and then murdering her in 2003.
Murder convict Mohammad Amin was taken to the gallows at the Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi early Tuesday morning, while death row prisoner Riaz was hanged at the District Jail Sargodha around 10pm Monday night.
Riaz was convicted of killing two people during an attempted robbery in 2002.
