CHARSADDA: A local court on Thursday handed down death sentence to two brothers and life term to another in a triple murder case on the premises of courts in Charsadda.

The convicts identified as Faizur Rahman, Rahimullah and Wahid, who are brothers and had opened fire on their rivals named Bakht Zali, his son Rahmat and their companion Iqbal Hussain and murdered them on the courts premises on June 24, 2021.

The rivals had earlier murdered the father and two brothers of the convicts over old enmity and the latter wanted to take revenge from the former. The police had arrested the convicts on the spot from the crime scene.

Additional District and Sessions Judge Abdul Hassan Mohmand while delivering verdict in the triple murder case awarded death sentence to Faizur Rahman, Rahimullah and life imprisonment to other brother Wahid.
