March 9, 2016: Thirteen people were sentenced to death in separate murder cases in Chittagong, Rangpur, Gazipur and Natore, reports UNB news agency. In Chittagong, a tribunal sentenced six people - Mahmudul Islam, Sunil Das, Mizanur Rahman, Md Hossain alias Prakash, Nazrul Islam alias Lal Miah, Md Selim - to death for killing a teenage boy in
2011. Two accused in the case - Mahmudul Islam and his younger brother Nazrul Islam- confessed to the court that Himel’s uncle Sunil Das had abducted Himel and then killed him for property. After examining the records and witnesses, Chittagong Women and Children Repression Prevention Tribunal-2 Judge Selim Miah handed down the verdict.
In Rangpur, a court sentenced five people to death for killing a mentally challenged woman in 2006. Additional district and session judge Abu Zafar Mohammad Kamruzzaman sentenced Abdul Mazid, brother of the victim, Maminul Islam, Emdadul Islam, Ariful Islam and Anwarul Islam-to death for killing Anjila Khatun. According to the prosecution, convict Emdadul had an enmity with his neighbour Badsha Mia over a piece of land. As a sequel to the enmity, Emdadul hired Abdul Mazid at Tk 2 lakh to kill his elder sister aiming to implicate Badshaha in the killing. Later, on 9 March 2006, the convicts took Anjila Khatun, 30, daughter of late Abul Hossain of Kumarpur village in Priganj uapzila, to a bamboo cluster and killed her by slitting her throat. In Gazipur, Judge of Gazipur district and session Judges Court AKM Enamul Haque sentenced Ramjan alias Mukul Kosai, of Pagar Jhanu market in Tongi, to death for killing a man in 2013. According to the prosecution, Ramjan chopped Nurul Islam to death in Jhanu market area on 24 March 2013 as a sequel to previous enmity.
A Natore court sentenced Saharul Islam, son of Akkel Ali of Ragunathpur village in Lalpur upazila, to death for killing minor girl Mosaddika Khatun, 6, in the upazila in 2007. The prosecution said Saharul strangled Mosaddika Khatun, daughter of Mukrum Ali of Raghunathpur village, to death after snatching her ear ring on 6 November in 2007.
