Tavella murder trial in limbo, eight years on

The trial of the case for the murder of Italian citizen Cesare Tavella is yet to see conclusion.

Eight years have passed but the trial is yet to be completed in the case lodged for the murder of Italian national Cesare Tavella.

The state cannot say when the trial will be over. However, they say that the trial of the case will be completed next year. Maximum punishment to be awarded to the accused.

On the contrary, lawyers of the accused said that the state could not prove the charges against the accused. Hopefully, the accused will be acquitted.

Cesare Tavella, the project manager of Profitable Opportunities for Food Security, a programme of ICCO Cooperation, a Netherlands-based NGO, was shot dead in Dhaka’s Gulshan diplomatic zone on the evening of September 28, 2015.
