Authorities at Mach Jail on Tuesday hanged convicted target killer Saulat Mirza, Express News reported.
The hanging came a day after Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was set to make the final decision on the execution.
Mirza, who was convicted of killing Karachi Electric Supply Company’s managing director Shahid Hamid, his guard and driver, in Karachi, had his sentence deferred twice before.
Prior to his sentence being carried out early on Tuesday morning, he was inspected by a doctor who gave him a clean bill of health. He was then led out to the gallows and his sentence was hanged under the supervision of a magistrate.
An ambulance was also present at the jail to transfer his body to Karachi for burial.
Earlier, Mirza’s relatives too met with the death row prisoner, including his brothers and sisters.
The execution was stayed on March 19 after he made startling revelations about Muttahida Qaumi Movement chief Altaf Hussain’s alleged involvement in the murder of KESC’s managing director.
On March 30, Mirza’s execution was stayed for a further 30 days.
The Sindh High Court on May 8 rejected a plea seeking delay in death row prisoner Mirza’s execution.
“There is no cogent reason for re-investing the 18-year-old murder of then managing director of the Karachi Electric Supply Company, Shahid Hamid, for which notorious target killer Saulat Mirza is scheduled to be hanged on May 12.” 2015
His death warrants had been re-issued by an anti-terror court on May 2.
