Five people have been sentenced to life in prison for murdering a farmer in Daulatpur upazila of Kushtia district in 2014.

The lifers are two brothers Mujibul Khan and Arif Khan, Shafi Khan, Saiful Khan, and Asadul Khan, residents of Baliashisha village in Mirpur upazila of the district.

The additional district and sessions judge’s first court judge Tajul Islam gave the verdict in presence of the lifers.

The court also fined them Tk 10,000 each, and in default, they will have to serve another year in jail.

The court police inspector Al Imran said the court, however, acquitted two accused – Ashraful and Momin – from charges of the murder as they have been found not guilty.

Sources in the court said the lifers slaughtered farmer Abdul Khan, a resident of Baliashisha village, on June 19, 2014.

Later, the victim’s son Nazmul Khan filed a case accusing seven people of killing his father.
