A Dhaka court has ordered death sentence for two students of Ahsanullah University of Science and Technology for killing one of their classmates. The body of 22-year-old Subir Chandra Das was found on the banks of a river at Dhaka's Savar in 2013.
In its verdict, the court of Dhaka's District and Sessions Judge ordered life imprisonment for two others and acquitted another. Fugitives-at-large Farhad Hossain Shiju and Md Hossain received death sentences. Shafiq Ahmed Robin and Kamrul Hassan Shaon both received life sentences in prison and were ordered to pay a Tk 5,000 fine. The court acquitted Robin’s wife Lutfa Akhtar Sony in connection with the incident. According to the decision, the attackers called the victim away from his home in Savar on Jan 21, 2013 and strangled him to death because of prior animosity. The victim’s body was then dumped in the Buriganga river and was subsequently recovered near Savar’s Kotalia village. Subir’s father, Gauranga Chandra Das filed a murder case at the Savar police station. The trial began on April 11. “Sony had engaged in a romantic relationship with Subir,” Prosecutor Khandker Abdul Mannan told bdnews24.com “But she later married Robin. This gave rise to animosity between the two and was the motive for the murder."
