Two key witnesses in the Mustafa murder case have identified the prime suspects, Armaghan and Shiraz, during a hearing before the Judicial Magistrate (South).

The witnesses, Ghulam Mustafa and Zohaib, pointed out both accused in court, stating that they were present at the crime scene.

Witness Ghulam Mustafa stated that on the day of the incident, one of the accused, Shiraz, was wearing glasses. Another witness, Zohaib, also confirmed the identity of the suspects. However, during the identification process, both Armaghan and Shiraz were reportedly seen laughing, appearing unfazed by the testimonies against them. 

Defense lawyers objected to the witness statements, arguing that the prosecution had influenced the identification process. Despite these objections, the court recorded the witness testimonies as part of the ongoing trial.

Threats to witnesses

During the proceedings, police informed the court that Armaghan’s father had allegedly threatened witness Ghulam Mustafa. Taking strict notice of this, the judicial magistrate ordered immediate legal action against the individual responsible for the threats and directed that he be handcuffed.

Eyewitness account of crime scene

Providing further details, witness Ghulam Mustafa stated that he used to work at the bungalow where the crime took place. He recalled that on January 1, he arrived at the house around 3pm and found it in a state of disarray, with approximately 30 to 40 people present. He also mentioned that the gate of the house was operated remotely.

Meanwhile, Wajiha Amir, the mother of slain Mustafa Amir, has claimed that her son was not friends with the main suspect, Armaghan, and did not even want to speak to him.

She also alleged that Mustafa was trapped and taken to Armaghan on January 6, though how this happened remains a mystery.

In an exclusive interview with Samaa TV, Wajiha Amir refuted media reports claiming that Mustafa and Armaghan were together on New Year's Eve. She stated that the information circulated about her son attending a party with Armaghan was false. "Mustafa had no intention of talking to him. Armaghan made multiple calls on January 5, but my son did not respond," she asserted.

Claims of police negligence

Wajiha Amir expressed frustration over the handling of the case, stating that the police did not take the matter seriously at first. If the police had listened to her, the case could have been solved by January 14, she added. She revealed that Mustafa's mobile phone was discovered at Armaghan’s residence, a critical piece of evidence.
