Shahrukh Jatoi, the main accused in the murder of Shahzeb Khan, was identified by two witnesses during an identification parade on Saturday before Judicial Magistrate Waqar Ahmed Soomro.
Police had brought Shahrukh to an anti-terrorism court, where two witnesses were present.
The witnesses told the court that Jatoi had repeatedly fired his weapon on Shahzeb even after the latter’s car overturned.
Jatoi’s lawyer objected to the proceeding, saying that his client’s picture was circulating on the social media and the internet and the testimony of the witnesses was “meaningless”. The court recorded his statement. Addressing the court, Jatoi revealed that the police had brought the two witnesses to the Boat Basin Police Station, where he is being kept, on Friday night and arranged a meeting between them. This incident and his pictures circulating on the internet have made the witnesses controversial, he added.
Three other suspects of the case, who were earlier arrested, have already been identified by three witnesses.
Jatoi had allegedly murdered Shahzeb Khan in cold blood on December 25 last year over a disagreement after which Jatoi had gone into hiding abroad and was recently arrested in Dubai.
