Kakrail Double Murder: Husband, 2 others sentenced to death
A Dhaka court yesterday sentenced three people to death for killing Shamsun Nahar and her 17-year-old son Sajjadul Karim Shaon in Dhaka's Kakrail area in 2017.
The convicts are: Nahar's husband Abdul Karim, his third wife Sharmin Akter Mukta and Mukta's brother Al-Amin Johny.
Judge Md Rabiul Alam of the Third Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge's Court of Dhaka pronounced the verdict in presence of the convicts at a courtroom, assistant public prosecutor Mohammad Salahuddin Howlader told The Daily Star.
In the judgment, the judge said the prosecution was able to prove the charges brought against the convicts without a doubt and they deserved the highest punishment for their "heinous offences".
The judge observed that children are the greatest wealth to parents, but the father along with others killed his son and wife in cold blood.
Earlier, the court recorded statements of 17, out of 22, prosecution witnesses including the case's complainant.
On November 1 of 2017, Shamsun Nahar (46) and her son Shaon, an A-level student, were murdered at their home in Kakrail.
