A court in Bangladesh Tuesday sentenced two persons to death in connection with the murder of a man in 2006.
The special district and sessions court in Chittagong has ordered the death penalty for Didarul Alam Jasim, 50, and Jakir Hossain, 50, for killing one Shariful Alam in 2006, bdnews24.com reported.
Alam was a colleague of Hossain's wife Kawsara Begum at the Dohajari Rural Electrification Plant.
Hossain has been absconding since the beginning of the trial.
The court acquitted three other accused as the charges against them were not proven, said public prosecutor Jahangir Alam.
In 2006, the convicts first strangled and then stabbed Alam to death at Satkania Upazila's Kachhna Union over a monetary dispute.
