A court in Khulna has convicted a woman of murdering her 9-year-old son.
In its verdict, delivered on Tuesday, an additional metropolitan sessions judge sentenced the woman and three others to death and acquitted a fifth.
The death-row convict’s are the victim’s mother Sonia Akter, Md Nurunnabi, Md Rasul and Md Hafaizur Rahman.
In the morning of June 9 last year, locals at Kartikkul reported police of a body in a ditch, who was later identified as 9-year-old Hashmi Mia.
The father started a murder case with the police the same day.
According to investigators, Sonia was involved in an extra-marital affair with convict Nurunnabi, which was the motive of the killing.
The mother confessed to the crime later in court.
In December last year, police pressed charges against seven suspects and the trial kicked-off in April this year after the court indicted five.
