KARACHI: The Supreme Court on Tuesday acquitted three convicts, including a woman, in a case pertaining to the murder of her parents, after 20 years. Asma and two other suspects, Muhammad Farhan Khan and Javed Ahmed Siddiqui, had appealed against their death sentences in the top court. Farhan’s fingerprints were taken two days after the murder, the court observed, adding that prosecution failed to prove the allegations. In 1999, the sessions court ordered the double death sentences for three suspects and 10 years imprisonment for Wasim. The appeal was eventually taken up by the Supreme Court.
