Hearing of Murtaza case put off


KARACHI, Sept 11: District and Sessions Judge East Zafar Ahmed Khan Sherwani on Saturday adjourned the hearing of Mir Murtuza Bhutto murder case against ex-Senator Asif Ali Zardari and others after recording statement of witness.

Najeeb Ahmed, a journalist, who reached the spot after the firing incident, recorded his statement. He was cross-examined by two defence counsel.

The court, which is conducting trial in central jail Karachi, fixed Oct 2 for completing cross-examination on witness by defence counsel. Asif Zardari, spouse of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto, was not produced before the court.
