The court of Chittagong's Special District and Sessions judge Momin Ullah gave the verdict on the 2006 killing on Tuesday.

Didarul Alam Jasim, 50 and Jakir Hossain, 50 have been found guilty of murdering one Shariful Alam.

Alam was a colleague of Hossain's wife Kawsara Begum at the Dohajari Rural Electrification Plant.

Hossain has been absconding since the beginning of the trial.

The court has acquitted three other accused as charges against them were not proven, said public prosecutor Jahangir Alam.

In 2006, the convicts first strangled and then stabbed Alam to death at Satkania Upazila's Kachhna Union over a dispute over money.
