KARACHI: A special court in Karachi on Tuesday issued fresh black warrants against death-row convict and target-killer Saulat Mirza.
Mirza was scheduled to be executed on March 19 for murdering Shahid Hamid, the managing director of the then Karachi Electric Supply Company, his driver Ashraf Brohi and guard Khan Akbar in July 1997. However, his execution was halted a few hours before his hanging after his video was aired on a private TV channel wherein he claimed that he had committed the killings on the orders of Altaf Hussain – a claim refuted by the MQM chief.
The court has now ordered the prison authorities to hang Mirza on April 1 at the Macch Jail in Balochistan. The convict is expected to be executed at 5:30am.
