Mohiuddin Jintu, a Bangladeshi man who surrendered to police 22 years after being sentenced to hang for a double murder, was granted a presidential amnesty, officials said. 
"Mohiuddin Jintu, who was sentenced to his death in his absence in 1982, surrendered to police in January and has now been released and given amnesty by the president," director of Dhaka Central Jail Kamrul Islam said. Jintu had apparently spent the past two decades in Sweden, a report in the English language Daily Star said. Three others were given the death penalty for the killing of two businessmen following a political feud. One man was hanged while two others were still at large.
