After repeated adjournments to materialise compromise, three persons including two real brothers Ilyas (patwari) and ex-Head Constable, Ghulam Abbas and their cousin Asif were hanged to death here at Central Jail on Tuesday.
The convicts who had murdered five persons were awarded death sentence, which was sustained by appellate courts while mercy petitions too were rejected. The convicts' family made desperate attempts to seek forgiveness but that did not work and bereaved families could not be appeased.
The convicts advised their sons and wards not to take law in their hands learn to suppress rage and forget about revenge or further killings. The convicts having lost all hopes just asked their near and dear ones to pray to Allah Almighty for their souls to rest in peace.
The convicts had shot dead five opponents Liaqat, Akram, Inayat, Abid and Zahid in Cantonment area some 11 years ago due to old enmity. Execution of death sentence was adjourned 4 times to await compromise. The Judge Anti Terrorism Court ultimately issued black warrants for 4th July and execution was completed.
