QUETTA : All the arrangements have been finalised to hang death row prisoner Saulat Mirza today (Tuesday). Officials said the convict had a last meeting with his family members in the jail on Monday. His execution will take place at 4:30 am on May 12, jail authorities said. On Friday, the Sindh High Court rejected an application of Mirza's wife seeking deferment of her husband's execution. The court upheld the Supreme Court's earlier decision on Mirza's hanging.
Mirza, a former worker of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), was awarded death sentence for 1997 murder of MD of Karachi Electric Supply Corporation - now K-Electric - Shahid Hamid, his driver, and security guard.
