KARACHI: The retrial of the murder case of 20-year-old Shahzeb Khan began in the court of Sessions Judge District South on Tuesday. During the first hearing of the retrial today, the Sessions Judge has decided to hear the case on daily basis. In his remarks, the judge observed that the parties to the ‘settlement’ will be summoned to the court. Shahzeb Khan was gunned down by the son of an influential feudal in a posh locality of Karachi in 2012. However, on November 28 the murder case took a dramatic turn when the Sindh High Court (SHC) ordered a retrial, striking down the death penalty awarded to the convicts by the ATC.
