ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court (SC) on Tuesday upheld the death sentence awarded to convicts in a triple murder case. Back in 2007, Ilyas Gujjar, Heera Gujjar and Zahid Gujjar were murdered while Naved Ilyas and Tahir Mehmood wounded by a rival group over a petty issue in Lahore’s Azimpura. Elaborating details of the case, Justice Khosa remarked that the victims were not murdered at one place but at three different places after being chased down by the convicts. Justice Khosa said the relevant trial court incorporated terror charges in the case which were later excluded by the high court during the hearing of the accused’s appeals. Islam also states that if a part of a testimony is based on lies it should be rejected, he added.
