Pakistan gives 3 suspects to UK
2005-10-06
Law-enforcement agencies handed over three Pakistanis to British authorities on Wednesday for the Pakistanis’ alleged involvement in the murder of a British national. Officials of the Special Investigation Unit handed over Imran Shahid, Zeeshan Shahid and Faisal Mushtaq to the British authorities, and the three were later sent to the UK on flight BA 128. Three people, who had been studying in the UK, allegedly killed British student Kriss Donald on a petty issue in March 2004 and later flew to Pakistan. A British court declared them absconders during the proceedings of the case and asked the authorities concerned to contact the Pakistani government regarding the issue. After six month long consultations, Pakistani authorities handed over the alleged killers to the UK.

The visiting British secretary of state for defence, John Reid, also discussed this matter with Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz, sources told Daily Times. The Pakistani government had amended the act of extradition and handed over the accused to the British authorities, they said. The accused had been arrested from Lahore six months ago and were later shifted to Adiala Jail, sources stated.
