Two get death for murder in Ctg

A Chittagong court yesterday gave death penalty to two persons in a case filed for killing a man at Chandanaish upazila more than five years ago.

The convicts -- Md Shahid and Hesham Uddin of Bainjuri in the upazila -- are on the run, said public prosecutor Ayub Khan. The court, however, acquitted six persons as the charges brought against them were not proved, said the PP.
