TANGAIL, May 18, 2025 (BSS) - A court here today sentenced two women to life-term imprisonment for killing a farmer in Sadar upazila of the district in 2014. 

Judge of Special Judge Court Dilara Alo Chandana pronounced the verdict this afternoon in presence of the convicts, said Advocate Md. Shahjahan Kabir, public prosecutor (PP) of the court.

The convicts are Rahima, 55, wife of late Razzak of Katuli village in Sadar upazila and her daughter Rozina Akhter, 32. 

According to prosecution, on February 19, 2014, the convicts with other family members chopped farmer Shamsul Haque, 55, indiscriminately over previous enmity while he was cleaning weeds on his land near his house at Katuli village. 

He [Shamsul] was rushed to Tangail General Hospital in a critical condition. Later, he was shifted to Dhaka Combined Military Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries after three days of his admission.

Jamiron Begum, wife of the deceased, filed a case with Tangail Model Police Station against Razzak, his wife Rahima, daughter Rozina and son Rafiqul.

Accused Razzak died while the case was ongoing. Besides, since Rafiqul was young at the time of the incident, his case is still pending in the children's court.

The judge after examining witnesses and evidence found the convicts guilty and handed down the punishment, the PP added.
