Abdullah Shah (1965 – 20 April 2004) was an Afghan serial killer found guilty in Kabul of killing more than 20 people, including his wife.
Witnesses present included representatives of the Afghan police, the Attorney General's office and doctors.
Amnesty International protested against the execution claiming Afghanistan avoided basic standards of fairness.
The organization added that Shah was probably silenced so he could not testify against commanders allied to the government.
