Family members of a murdered MP have asked the supreme court to delay the death penalty for the 22-year-old man convicted of killing him.
The court is set to rule on the high-profile murder case tonight.
In a letter to the chief justice, the father and brother of late MP Afrasheem Ali cited an incomplete murder investigation in delaying their earlier wish for the death penalty for his killer, Hussain Humam Ahmed.
Humam remains a key witness in identifying those who planned and funded the murder, they said.
