MANIKGANJ: Two persons were awarded death penalty by a Manikganj court for killing a man in Manikganj Sadar upazila on March 9 of 2010.

Judge Shahana Haque Siddiqi of additional district and sessions judge’s court of Manikganj delivered the verdict on Tuesday (September 3).

Assistant Public Prosecutor (APP) Mathur Nath moved for the state while lawyer Anwar Hossen stood for the state.

Masud and Sanowar called Ratan outside of home over a phone call on the night of March 9 in 2010.

Ratan--aged 22, son Bishu Miah— was a resident of Hizuli village under Manikganj Sadar upazila.
