Prashanta Kumar Banik, Superintendent of Central Jail-2 at Kashimpur, told bdnews24.com that six members of Sayedee’s family arrived around 11:30am on Friday. Sayedee’s wife Saleha Sayedee, sons Shamim Sayedee and Nasim Islam, daughter-in-law Sayeda Sumaiya and two grandchildren spent around half an hour with him. Sayedee later appealed against the death sentence, seeking acquittal. The Appellate Division on Sep 17, 2014, reduced death sentence to ‘imprisonment until death’. Sayedee has also filed a petition to review the verdict that reduced his punishment.
