Three to die for killing siblings in Sirajganj

A Sirajganj court has sentenced three people to death for killing two siblings in Chouhali upazila of the district.

The court also fined the convicts Tk 10,000 each, in default of which they will have to suffer one more month in jail.

Sirajganj District and Sessions Court judge M Ali Ahmmed handed down the verdict on Monday (September 9).

The death row convicts are Shahidul Islam Saccha, 50, from Kodalia village under Chouhali upazila, Nasir Uddin, 40, and Israfil Hossain, 65, from the same village.

According to the case statement, the convicts attacked the victims--Kawsar Ali and his brother Milton Ali-- over a dispute following the setup of an irrigation system on December 7 of 2018, when the duo was visiting their grandfather’s house in Kodalia village. They both were taken to Tangail General Hospital where the doctors referred them to Dhaka.

Kawsar succumbed to his injuries on the way to the hospital and Milton died while undergoing treatment.

The victim’s mother Hayatun Nesa filed a murder case following the incident.
