'Head you live, tail you die': Armaghan offered toss to Mustafa Amir before killing him
Armaghan confesses to 'burning Mustafa Amir alive': Armaghan tells investigators he played coin toss game to leave Mustafa alive before killing: Admits hitting Mustafa with iron rod after every coin flip at home: Says Mustafa was alive when reached Hub in car’s trunk but failed to run on last toss: Claims ‘Allah ordered to kill him’: SHC withdraws ATC judges powers for tampering with records
In a spine-chilling revelation, investigators disclosed that the accused, Armaghan, killed Mustafa Amir in a dramatic and twisted game of chance, flipping a coin before every brutal assault, 24NewsHD TV Channel reported on Tuesday.
According to sources, Armaghan told investigators that as soon as Mustafa entered his house, he struck him with an iron rod, leaving him injured on the floor. At that moment, Armaghan tossed a coin and declared, “If it lands on a tail, you will die, and if it’s a head, I’ll let you go.”
After getting heads, he struck Mustafa again with the rod and repeated the sick game, flipping the coin a second time. Once again, it landed on a head, leading Armaghan to hit Mustafa even harder.
After the brutal beating, Armaghan stuffed Mustafa’s injured body into his car’s trunk and drove to the remote Hub Duriji area. Upon reaching there, he opened the trunk and told Mustafa, “If you can run, save yourself.”
Unfortunately, Mustafa tried but was too weak to escape. That’s when Armaghan flipped the coin one last time, saying, “If you win, I won’t burn you.”
Tragically, the accused claimed the toss landed in his favour, leading him to douse Mustafa in petrol and set him ablaze.
According to investigative sources, Armaghan shockingly told the police, “Allah ordered me to kill him.” His disturbing confession further revealed that law enforcement had to search 130 kilometres deep into the remote region to locate Mustafa’s burnt body.
ATC judges powers withdraw for tampering with records
On the other hand, in the Mustafa Amir murder case, the administrative powers of the Anti-Terrorist Court (ATC) administrator judge were withdrawn for tampering with records on Tuesday.
According to the 24NewsHD TV channel report, a two-member bench of the Sindh High Court (SHC) had recommended the withdrawal of powers from the administrator judge.
The written order said that the administrator judge rejected the physical remand on the complaint of ill-treatment of the accused during the police custody.
The channel also reported that the orders of the administrator judge were not handwritten but typed, and the remand was converted into judicial custody by Whito.
Background of the case
It is worth mentioning here that Mustafa went missing on January 6, and his mother filed a report the next day. The case took a turn after a ransom call was received on January 25.
A raid on February 9 led to a violent standoff and the eventual arrest of Armughan, key suspect, who later retracted his claim of disposing of the body in Malir.
Further investigation revealed that Armughan, with accomplice Shiraz, murdered Mustafa after a dispute over a girl. Authorities are now seeking the girl’s testimony, with efforts underway to contact her through Interpol.
