The pair were both executed before dawn at the same jail in Faisalabad, a city in the central province of Punjab, jail superintendent Yusuf Ghauri told AFP. Mohammad Farooq, 45, was sentenced to death for killing his nephew over a property dispute in 1999, Ghauri said. Shah Nawaz was condemned to die for killing a man and his son during a robbery in Faisalabad district in 1992, the official added.
The execution orders were implemented after Musharraf rejected their mercy petitions, Ghauri said.
