Court sets aside death and other senten­ces awarde­d to Shahru­kh JatoiKARACHI: The Sindh High Court on Tuesday set aside death and other sentences awarded to Shahrukh Jatoi pertaining to the trial in Shahzeb Khan murder case. SHC ordered review of charges against Jatoi, remanding the case back to the relevant anti-terrorism court for a fresh trial. Shahzeb Khan murder: Shahrukh Jatoi may walk away from the gallowsIn June 2013, Karachi’s anti-terrorism court-III (ATC-III) had awarded capital punishment to Shahrukh, son of business tycoon Sikandar Jatoi, and his friend Siraj, for killing the 20-year-old son of DSP Aurangzeb Khan in Karachi’s DHA neighbourhood on December 25, 2012. Fleeing the country: Shahrukh Jatoi, nine others to be indictedThe case has taken several interesting turns. Initially, a government-appointed medical board had declared Shahrukh to be a minor and had sent him to juvenile jail.
