Testimony recording deferred again for 11th time

A Sylhet court yesterday again deferred the recording of testimonies of witnesses to January 6 in former finance minister SAMS Kibria murder case.

The speedy trial tribunal took the decision as witnesses were absent yesterday, said the public prosecutor, adding that 12 out of 14 accused were present.

The court was supposed to start the seventh day of recording testimonies yesterday. The case was deferred for the 11th time.

Five people, including Kibria, were killed and 70 others injured in a grenade attack on a public rally of local Awami League at Baidder Bazar on January 27, 2005.
