An anti-terrorism court in Multan on Tuesday sentenced a woman to death on two counts while also handing her a life imprisonment sentence after finding her guilty of murdering her husband.

A first information report had been registered against the accused, Yasmeen, at Ludden Vehari Police Station in Multan on June 23.

Judge Malik Khalid Mehmood, in his verdict said that Yasmeen has been found guilty of "the brutal and gruesome murder of her husband," Muhammad Imran Ashraf.

"The convict sprinkled acid on Muhammad Irfan Ashraf, entailing his death," the verdict noted.

Yasmeen was sentenced to death under the Anti-Terrorism Act 1997 and the Pakistan Penal Code. She has also been made liable to pay a fine of Rs20,000.

Pakistan lifted its moratorium on the death penalty in 2015.

Since then, a total of 465 prisoners have been executed, according to a data analysis by Justice Project Pakistan which was released in July.
