Chandpur Additional District Sessions Judge Md Mamunur Rashid delivered the verdict in 2013 murder on Monday.

On Jul 7 that year, Kalandar Gazi, a Bangladesh expatriate living in Saudi Arabia , was murdered in his Chandpur home while he was on vacation.

The court found his wife 26-year-old Shilpi Begum and her ‘lover’ 28-year-old Kabir Gazi guilty of the murder.

Chandpur Additional Public Prosecutor Sayedul Islam said the two buried the body near the house and filed a missing person's report with police.

“Police detained Kabir Gazi in connection with the murder,” he said adding that the wife was arrested based on his confession.
