Sentence commuted: Killers of Czech men jailed for life
Supreme Appellate Court of Gilgit-Baltistan (G-B) converted death penalties of two men into life imprisonments.
Two Czech nationals – Peter Polasek and Gubicova – were allegedly killed by Mir Ahmed and Dolat Shah in Gupis, a village in Ghizer valley, a few years ago. Police had arrested the culprits who reportedly confessed later that they had committed the murder for money. A lower court and a sessions court had handed down a death penalty to the killers.
