A team from the United States (US) embassy in Islamabad met Zahir Jaffer, a convict in the Noor Mukadam murder case, in Adiala Jail on Thursday.
Noor was the daughter of Shaukat Mukadam, who served as Pakistan’s ambassador to South Korea and Kazakhstan. Zahir Jaffer ‘murdered’ Noor Mukadam in a house in Islamabad in 2021.
He was sentenced by an Islamabad trial court to 10 years in prison a year later.
The three-member team included Michael Murphy, Naveed Ghazi and Usama Hanif.
They were given consular access to Jaffer, who is a US national. The meeting took place in the room of the jail’s deputy superintendent.
