Our Correspondent, Bogra
A Bogra court yesterday sentenced a man to death for killing wife for dowry in Shibganj upazila of the district in 1997.
The death penalty awardee is Nasir Uddin Khan, 56, son of Abdul Gaffar Khan of Maspara village in the upazila.
Judge Momtaz Begum of Women and Children Repression Prevention Tribunal-2, Bogra, pronounced the verdict. The court also acquitted three other accused as charges brought against them could not be proved.
According to the prosecution, the victim, Momtaz Begum Shiri, was strangled by her husband Nasir Uddin following an altercation over dowry on the night of September 24,1997.
Victim's father Mofser Ali of Hudabala village in the upazila lodged a case with Shibganj Police Station the following day. After investigation, Sub-Inspector Atiar Rahman, also the investigation officer of the case, submitted a charge sheet to the court against Nasir and three others on March 23, 1998.
After examining nine witnesses and the case record, the judge handed down the verdict at around 3:00pm, court source said.
Away in Rangpur, a housewife, who sustained 50 percent burn injuries after her mother-in-law set her on fire over a trifling matter on Thursday, died on the way to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH)
from Rangpur Medical College Hospital (RMCH) yesterday morning, reports our correspondent.
The victim is Tahmina Begum, 27, wife of Abdul Mannan of the village.
Victim's family said Mannan and his family members used to torture Tahmina for dowry since her marriage 12 years ago.
Quoting locals and victim's family members, police said Mannan locked in an altercation with his mother Alema Begum over a family issue on Thursday night.
As Tahmina sided with her husband, Alema, being furious with Tahmina, set her on fire after pouring kerosene on the body.
Hearing Tahmina's scream, neighbours rescued her and rushed her to Pirgachha Upazila Health Complex. She was taken to RMCH the same night as her condition started deteriorating.
Dr Md Maruful Islam, head of burn and plastic surgery unit of RMCH, said Tahmina suffered 50 percent burn injuries. They referred her to the burn and plastic surgery unit of DMCH for better treatment.
Md Aminul Islam, officer-in-charge (OC) of Pirgachha Police Station, said Mostafa Hossain, elder brother of Tahmina, lodged a case with the police station on Friday night, accusing Mannan and Alema.
Police arrested Mannan from RMCH on the night, but Alema Begum went into hiding after the incident. "We are trying to arrest Alema," the OC said.
