Two brothers convicted of murdering six people from the same family have been hanged in Sialkot jail early today.
Nasir Mehmood and Tahir Iqbal were hanged for multiple murders in 2002, senior prison official Chaudhry Arshad Saeed Arain told AFP.
The hanged men killed six members of a family over a land dispute, jail officials said.
A six-year moratorium on the death penalty was lifted in Pakistan after Taliban attackers gunned down more than 150 people, most of them children, at an army-run school in Peshawar in December 2014.
Hangings were initially reinstated only for those convicted of terrorism, but in March they were extended to all capital offences. (AFP)
