Additional District and Sessions Judge Miazi Alam delivered the verdict on Monday morning where he acquitted six others as charges against them were not proved.
 
Additional Public Prosecutor Abdur Rahim said each convict was fined Tk 20,000 in addition to the death penalty. One of them was also sentenced to three years in jail.
 
The convicts are Abul Kashem, 50, his son ‘Sujon’, 24, ‘Kalu’, 48, and his son ‘Azman’, 26. All of them are of the Upazila’s Sonakanda.
 
Of them, only Sujan was present in court at the time of sentencing. The others are on the run.
 
Prosecutor Abdur Rahim told reporters that the accused beat up Ujjal Mia and stabbed him to death at Sonakanda’s Bara Masjid on Jun 16, 2012.
 
Ujjal’s father Lutfar Rahman filed the murder case at Bandar Police Station accusing 10 people including Sujon. Police submitted the chargesheet naming those 10 after investigation.
 
The verdict came after the court heard the depositions of 14 witnesses.
 
Ujjal’s mother Bakul Begum was, however, unhappy with the verdict. “Six accused were acquitted. They were involved in the murder,” she told reporters.
