A court here yesterday sentenced a man to death for killing a farmer in 2008.
Additional District and Sessions Judge Al Mahmud Faijul Kabir declared the verdict.
The convicted Nurul Islam, 25, son of Hazrat Ali of Kafatia village of Sadar upazila, is absconding. The court, however, acquitted three others as the charges brought against them could not be proved.
Ainal Hossain, 48, of the village, was killed on October 3 in 2008 as Nurul Islam and some others hit him with iron rods and sharp weapons following a dispute over land boundary.
