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."
