today's west side of the stadium opposite of the Id Gah Mosque, a location which is marked by a memorial plaque. When Macnaghten arrived, he was surprised to find representatives of most of the rival factions present at the meeting. Including Aminullah Khan Logari's brother, and the chiefs of the Jabbar Khel. Alongside this, there was numerous Armed Ghazis surrounding the meeting place. When Macnaghten spoke up to Akbar Khan about why these men were present at a meeting that was meant to be confidential, Akbar Khan replied, "They are all in on the secret". Macnaghten did not understand the implication of words said by Akbar Khan, and instead of fleeing for the safety of the cantonment, began to sprawl on the ground as if he was taking his ease. Akbar Khan, noticing Macnaghten did not take the hint, offered him a final chance of redemption by asking him if he was still prepared to carry out the agreement reached the night before. To which, Macnaghten replied "Why not?". This expression in Persian signified consent to the agreement as reached. Following this, Akbar Khan shouted "Seize him", and grabbed the envoy by his left hand. Sultan Jan, another Sardar, seized the other hand of the envoy, and together they drove him head first down the slope. The British officers who accompanied Macnaghten were pinned down and pistols put to their heads. Akbar Khan claimed he had no intention to harm Macnaghten and only planned to take him hostage. However, as Macnaghten led a struggle to try and free himself, Akbar Khan unloaded a pistol into his body, one of a pair that Macnaghten had presented to him the day before. In the uncertainty that followed, the Ghazis pounced upon the wounded Macnaghten and hacked off his limbs, and finally killing Macnaghten by severing his head from his body. Lawrence and Mackenzie, two of the British officers who had accompanied Macnaghten, were saved from a similar fate due to the intervention of Nawab Zaman, whose men fought off the Ghazis and took them to the safety of Qal'a-yi Mahmud Khan. The following day, Nawab Zaman moved the officers to his own house. Lieutenant Trevor was also killed in the surrounding chaos, being cut by Sultan Jan and later hacked to death by Ghazis. The torsos of Macnaghten and Trevor were later hung from a meat hook in the Chahar Chatta Bazaar,
