Verdict of Khalaf murder case on Dec 30
A speedy trial tribunal of Dhaka will deliver verdict on December 30 in the Saudi official Khalaf Al Ali murder case.
Judge Mohammad Motahar Hossain of the Speedy Trial Tribunal-4 in Dhaka fixed the date after hearing of arguments from both the prosecution and the defence yesterday.
The defence lawyers told the court that the prosecution has failed to prove the charges brought against their clients.
They also said they appealed to the court for acquittal of their clients of the charges.
Earlier on December 17, the prosecution of the case concluded their arguments and appealed to the court for giving capital punishment to the five accused involved in the killing.
The accused are Mohammad Al Amin, Saiful Islam Mamun, Rafiqul Islam Khokon, Akbar Ali Lalu and Selim Chowdhury. Of them, Selim is on the run while the others are in police custody.
Khalaf, an official at the consular section of the Saudi embassy in Dhaka, was shot dead near his Gulshan house in the capital's diplomatic enclave on March 6 this year.
