KARACHI: A key prosecution witness identified on Saturday two workers of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement in a murder case.

The identification parade was conducted before the judicial magistrate VI of District East, Waseem Ahmed.

After recording the statement, the judicial magistrate sealed the records and sent them to the trial court, the anti-terrorism court-I. The case was registered in the Saudabad Police Station.

Naeem alias Guddu and Habib are implicated in several other cases, including possession of illicit weapons and killings of political rivals.
