Abu Hanif, the son of Munsur Sardar from Rewi village in Satkhira Sadar Upazila, has been sentenced to life imprisonment and fined Tk 10,000 by Additional District and Sessions Judge 3rd Court Judge Rakibul Islam.
The court announced this verdict on Monday, holding Abu Hanif responsible for the murder of his father.
According to the details of the case, Abu Hanif's father Munsur Sardar did not do any work. There was turmoil in the family about this. On September 25, 2005, Abu Hanif returned home from work and saw his father Munsoor Sardar sitting on the balcony.
Because Munsur Sardar did not go to work, his son Abu Hanif got angry and brought a bati (Fish-Knife) from the kitchen and stabbed his father’s chest. He died on the spot. A murder case was registered in the police station in this incident.
Following the incident, a murder case was filed, and after a thorough investigation, the case was brought to trial. The court's decision came after reviewing testimonies from 11 witnesses and other relevant documents.
During the court session, the accused Abu Hanif was present as Judge Rakibul Islam pronounced the life sentence and the fine. Additional Public Prosecutor Syed Ziaur Rahman Bachchu confirmed the sentencing and reiterated the court's commitment to justice.
