Two get life term
A Barishal court has sentenced two men to life imprisonment and fined each Tk 1 lakh for raping and killing a sixth grader in 2012.
Women and Children Repression Prevention Tribunal Judge Shamim Azad passed the order after examining 26 witnesses and evidence in presence of convict, Manir Khan, 27. The other convict Rubel, 26, has been absconding.
Fayez ul Fayez, special public prosecutor of the tribunal, said the 11-year-old victim went her friend’s home in Mehendiganj upazila on July 28, 2012 to watch TV and went missing. Her hanging body was recovered the next day. The victim’s mother lodged an unnatural death case with Airport Police Station and police sent the corpse to morgue for autopsy.
The autopsy report found that the victim was raped and strangled to death, he added.
A murder and rape case was lodged against unknown miscreants by Sub-inspector Siddiqur Rahman on November 6, 2012.
CID Inspector Al Mamun Ul Islam submitted the charge sheet on September 24, 2014 against Manir and Rubel.
