5 get life for murder
A trial court here yesterday sentenced five people to life term jail in a murder case in Gowainghat upazila. The convicts are Sultan Ahmed, Jamshed Miah, Ali Azam and Nurul Islam, sons of Abdul Gafur and Jamshed Miah's son Imam Hossain, all hailing from village Bagairhaor of the upazila. Additional District and Sessions Judge-I, Sylhet, Nazir Ahmed pronounced the judgement. The prosecution case in brief is that the body of 'missing' Humayun of the village was found in front of the house of one Khorshed Miah in the morning of March 21, 2003. Humayun Miah's father-in-law Abdul Quadir filed a case on the same day accusing the five people. Although police failed twice to unearth the reason behind the murder but they submitted the final report. At this the complainant raised 'Naraji' against the police report. Later the case was transferred to the CID, who submitted the charge sheet against the five on July 31 of 2004. The judge took testimony of 22 out of a total of 32 witnesses in the case before giving the verdict yesterday.
