A Faridpur court has sentenced three men to death and a woman to life imprisonment for the murder of a man on September 16, 2014.
The convicts facing the death penalty are Shaon Bepari of Luxmipur village, and Md Shamim Mollah and Md Akmal Mollah of Karimpur Uttarpara village under Sadar upazila in Faridpur. Rasida Begum of Luxmipur village has been sentenced to life imprisonment.
