Islamabad - Pakistan hanged a murderer on Tuesday as the interior minister confirmed a 30-day stay of execution for another man apparently condemned to death as a teenager.
Muhammad Nasrullah, who killed a man over a family dispute in 1994, was executed at a jail in the city of Multan in Punjab province, taking the number of executions to 55 since their resumption in December.
The hanging came hours before Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan confirmed the execution of Shafqat Hussain would be delayed by 30 days.
