Convict Ameer Hamza was handed a death sentence in 2004 by a local court in Sibi for killing a man in 1995 over a minor dispute. He was hanged in Mach jail early morning.
According to reports, Hamza is the first person to be hanged in Balochistan in seven years.

Meanwhile, former employee of an intelligence agency Sikander was executed in Bhawalpur Central Jail for the murder of his fellow officer.
Sikander was given a death sentence by a military court for the offence.
Many convicts on death row have been hanged in the past month after Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif lifted the moratorium on the death penalty late last year.
