A Dhaka court on Monday sentenced a mugger to death and two others to life term imprisonment for killing a businessman in Keraniganj in 2012. Judge SM Kuddus Zaman of Dhaka District and Sessions judges’ court delivered the verdict in a packed courtroom. The convict Md Bacchu Miah, 25, has been given the death sentence; Md Sajal, 27 and Sumon alias Messi, 28, are to be imprisoned for life-term. Sajal and Sumon were tried in absentia as they went into hiding after getting bail from the High Court. The victim’s brother-in-law Nazrul Islam filed a case with Keraniganj Model Police Station over the murder.
