Additional District and Sessions Judge Anwarul Haque on Tuesday also sentenced another accused to life in prison.
Those sentenced to death are Moslem Uddin, Mostafizur Rahman and Mamunur Rashid – all aged between 45 and 50 and residents of Mirzapur Khayer Bari village.
All four are behind bars.
The victim, 62-year-old Wakil Uddin, worked as a tutor, Additional Public Prosecutor Azizur Rahman said, citing the case dossier.
Wakil was hacked to death on June 25, 2011 following a dispute over fishing in a pond at Taltoli village.
His wife Bilkis Begum then started a case with Birampur Police against six people.
One of the accused died during trial while the court acquitted another.
