Himu Murder: 5 to die

A Chittagong court on Sunday convicted five people and sentenced them to death for killing Himadri Mazumder Himu.

Additional Metropolitan Session Judge Nurul Islam passed the order.

Earlier on July 16, the court fixed July 28 to deliver the verdict on the murder case. However, the verdict was not delivered on the day as the judge of the court went on leave and fixed August 11 for delivering the verdict.

But the date was deferred again due to ‘full court reference’ at the court on August 11.

According to the prosecution, Himadri Majumdar Himu, an A-level student of Summerfield School and College in Chittagong, was pushed off a four-storey building after unleashing dog on him on April 27, 2012.

Later, he succumbed to his injuries on May 23, 2012, after 26 days of the incident.
