DERA GHAZI KHAN, Pakistan: A convicted murderer will be hanged to death on Tuesday at the Central Jail in Dera Ghazi Khan.
According to prison sources, Abdul Majeed son of Ghulam Hussain, resident of Chah Gulwala tehsil Taunsa, had killed his brother Ali Ahmed and nephew Abdul Aziz on November 22, 2002 over property dispute.
A case under section 302 was registered at Ratera Police station.
The Additional Sessions Judge Ishtiaq Ahmed awarded death penalty to the culprit on April 29, 2003.
Mercy appeals of the outlaw were rejected at all relevant forums.
The death penalty would be executed on October 27 under the supervision of Prison Superintendent Afzal Javed and Dr Ayub.
Nearly 250 persons who were convicted to death by various courts across the country have been executed since the ban on the implementation of death penalty was lifted in July last year.
Initially, only terror convicts were hanged to death as per the permission but later the implementation on all death sentences awarded to people for committing murder like crimes began.
