Murderer forgiven by victim's mother, escapes death penalty

One of the two minors who were sentenced to death after being convicted of murdering Hussain Waheed (M. Aisha) 11 years ago, has escaped the death penalty after the victim's mother forgave them.

The two, who were minors at the time of committing the murder back in December 2013, but now adults, received their death penalty verdict at the Juvenile Court in 2015. However, since they were minors at the time of the crime, Juvenile Justice Act prohibits revealing their identities.
