A court in Mymensingh has sentenced three brothers to life imprisonment for the killing of a man in Gafargaon in 2008.
Mymensingh Additional District and Sessions Judge Court Judge Farzana Ahmed delivered the verdict on Sunday afternoon.
The convicts are Shahbaz Mia, 58, Rafiqul Islam, 53, and another known only as Hanifa, 50 -- all sons of Gias Uddin.
The court also fined each of them Tk 30,000, with an additional six months in jail in default of payment.
Bench assistant Abdul Malek said six suspects were produced in court during the verdict.
Three were acquitted while the remaining three received life sentences.
According to the prosecution, the incident took place on Aug 10, 2008, when a group of boys were playing football near the house of Nurul Haque.
At one point, the ball struck Nurul’s fence, angering him. He stopped the boys from playing and drove them away.
Later, Shahbaz and his relatives allegedly returned and attacked Nurul with local weapons.
Nurul was taken to hospital in critical condition, where doctors declared him dead.
His son Kajal Mia later filed a murder case with Gafargaon Police.
After investigation, police submitted charges against six people.
“The court handed life sentences to three suspects after witness testimonies proved their involvement in the killing,” the prosecutor said.
