Ntv Video Editor Killing Case: HC verdict on appeal, death reference Dec 8
The High Court has set December 8 for delivering verdict on the appeals and death reference in journalist Atiqul Islam Atiq murder case.
The bench of Justice Shahidul Karim and Justice Md Akhtaruzzaman set the date after hearing yesterday.
Atiq (32), a video editor of private television channel ntv, was shot dead on February 13, 2009 by muggers in Moghbazar area while he was on his way home.
On June 24, 2014, a Dhaka court sentenced one mugger Shakil Sikdar to death, two others -- Abdullah Mohammad Ibne Ali Sarkar Nahid and Md Forkan -- to life term and Md Khokon to three years’ imprisonments for the killing.
The documents reached the HC in seven days as a death reference for examining the trial court verdict. Afterwards, Shakil, Forkan and Khokon filed separate appeals with the HC challenging the verdict.
