A Panchagarh court yesterday sentenced a man to 44 year's rigorous imprisonment (RI) for killing his son at Tyagoch village in Tentulia upazila of Panchagarh in 2008. The court also jailed two others for their involvement with the killing. District and Sessions judge Mohammad Mahbub Ul Islam handed down the verdict in a crowded courtroom. Convicts Md. Chan Mian, 45, got RI for 44 years, while Babul, 38, got RI for life and Shukur Ali, 40, sentenced to 2 years RI. The court acquitted Rafiqul Islam as the allegation against him could not be proved. According to prosecution, Chan Mian killed his son Shukur Ali with the help of others on 6 October in 2008. The next day Chan Mian himself filed a murder case with Tentulia police station accusing eight people of their village as he had enmity with them over a piece of disputed land. Later the case was sent to Criminal Investigation Department (CID). After long investigation, sub-inspector of CID framed charges against Chan Mian, Babul, Shukur Ali and Rafiqul Islam on 31 January in 2011.
