Krishna Kaberi murder case verdict today

A fast track court is all set to pronounce judgement in the case filed over the murder of college teacher Krishna Kaberi Biswas in 2015.

Judge Shahed Nuruddin of Dhaka Speedy Trial Tribunal-1 set the date after concluding all case proceedings on December 23, 2018.

Confirming the date, Special Public Prosecutor Abu Abdullah Bhuiyan said Zahirul Islam Palash, the lone accused in the case, went into hiding after getting out of jail on bail. 

Kaberi was a teacher at Mission International College in the capital's Adabor area. The accused was a friend of her family.

Kaberi's daughters -- Shovna and Aditi -- and her husband Sitangshu Shekhar Biswas, a BRTA official, were also injured during the attack on her.

Sudhangshu Shekhar Biswas, brother-in- law of Kaberi, filed a case against Palash, an official at brokerage house Haji Ahmed Brothers Securities.

Police filed charge sheet against Palash on May 30, 2016.

Palash later surrendered and confessed to committing the murder before a Dhaka court.

The court during hearing recorded depositions of 22 witnesses.
