Killing of 4 labourers in N’ganj: 2 get death, 9 others life term

A court in Narayangnaj has sentenced two men to death and nine others to life term imprisonment in a case filed for killing four labourers in Fatullah upazila of the district in 2008.

Narayanganj Additional District and Sessions Judge's Court Judge Sabina Yasmin pronounced the verdict in presence of seven accused on Sunday (February 28).

The death row convicts are Tajul Islam and Mohiuddin while four among the life timers are on the run.

The court also fined them Tk 50,000 each, in default of which they will have to suffer one year more in jail.

Additional Public Prosecutor of the court KM Fazlur Rahman said that the accused brought stones from Sylhet on a bulkhead named Shahparan and unloaded those at a cement factory in Munshiganj on September 19, 2008. Then, they anchored the bulkhead at Fatullah Boktabali Char as its engine went out of order.

From there, Nasir Mia, Mangal, Faisal and Hannan went missing. Later on September 21, the bodies of Mangal and Nasir were found in the Meghna Char with their hands and feet tied. The bodies of two others are still traceless.

A case was filed with Fatulla Model Police Station over the incident.
