FAISALABAD: A court sentenced two men to death for their involvement in a murder case in Faisalabad.  The judgment was announced by Additional Sessions Judge Muhammad Amir.

The prosecution told the court that accused Muhammad Rafique, Muhammad Fayyaz and Muhammad Khan had killed Aun Abbas over a monetary dispute on October 21, 2016.

The local police registered a case against the accused and presented the challan before the court. After hearing the arguments, the judge handed down death sentence to Muhammad Fayyaz and Muhammad Khan along with a fine of Rs0.2 million each. However, the judge acquitted Rafique after giving him the benefit of doubt.

The court also ordered the accused to undergo six months additional imprisonment if they failed to pay the penalty.
