KARACHI: Another witness on Saturday identified the principal accused and three of his accomplices in the Shahzeb Khan murder case.

The trial of Shahzeb murder case is being heard at the Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in Karachi.

The accused were brought to the court by the police, where eyewitness Shah Mohammad identified Shahrukh Jatoi, the main accused, along with three of his partners during the court hearing.

Mohammad told the court that Shahrukh Jatoi and his partner Siraj Durrani had opened fire at Shahzeb during the night of the incident.

Twenty-year-old Shahzeb Khan was gunned down on the night between Dec 24 and 25, 2012 when he was returning home along with his sister after attending a wedding.

The case had attracted much media attention after the Supreme Court took suo motu notice of the murder.
