HARIPUR: The Model Court Haripur on Friday convicted a man of double murder and handed him life sentence on two counts.

According to Maqbool Hussain Advocate, in June 2013 Taimur Khan, Adeel Khan and Sarfraz Khan had reportedly shot dead Tahir Khan and Safdar Zaman over a family dispute.

During the trial Adeel, who had been absconding, was murdered while his co accused, Sarfraz, died of natural causes, but Taimur was arrested and had been behind bars.

Tamimur was handed life sentence twice (50) years with a fine of Rs200,000.
