Satkhira man gets death for murdering four of his family

A Satkhira court awarded the death penalty to a man over the murders of his brother, sister-inlaw and two children.

The convict is Raihanur Rahman, 36, son of Shahjahan of Khalisha village in Kalaroa upazila of the district.

Satkhira Senior District and Sessions Judge Sheikh Mafizur Rahman handed down the verdict.

According to the prosecution, Raihanur was unemployed and used to depend on his elder brother Shahinur. Raihanur and Shahinur’s wife Sabina Khatun had been at loggerheads over the issue.
