Chattogram's Fourth Additional District and Sessions Judge Farzana Akhter announced the verdict on Monday.
The convicts have also been fined Tk 20,000 each, according to state prosecutor Md Nasir Uddin.
One of the 10 accused in the case had died and was therefore cleared of the charges. But only one of the nine remaining suspects was present in court while the others are absconding.
The accused had killed Nesar Ahmed Tota of Kachuapar in Fatikchhari Upazila on Nov 1, 2003, according to the case dossier.
According to the case dossier, Nesar Ahmed Tota, who had returned from Dubai, was killed after being taken from his house in the Upazila's Union no. 6.
The victim's wife started a murder against 10 suspects with Fatikchhari police station a day later. She alleged that Tota was killed over a monetary issue.
The chargesheet was filed on May 14, 2004. The trial subsequently began on Mar 20, 2006, with the court hearing the testimony of 10 witnesses.
