Earlier, the murderer who is said to be a teenager was warmly greeted by a crowd upon his arrival at the court.
On Saturday, a man was gunned down in a courtroom in Peshawar over blasphemy charges that he had been facing for two years.
The suspect, a reported graduate of a seminary, had been arrested by the police, but remains unclear as to how he had taken the gun inside the courtroom. Speaking about the murder, he said that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) came ‘to his dream and asked him to shoot this man’.
