Oishee Rahman has appealed to the High Court against the death sentence awarded to her for killing her parents.
Oishee's lawyer Masud Rana submitted the appeal to the court on Sunday afternoon.
In the appeal, Oishee sought acquittal from the death sentence. She also sought bail in the case.
On November 12, Dhaka Speedy Trial Tribunal 3 Judge Syed Ahmed sentenced Oishee to death for killing her parents, inspector Mahfuzur Rahman of the Special Branch of Police and his wife Swapna Rahman.
Besides, the court sentenced Oishee's friend Mizanur Rahman Rony to two years' rigorous jail and fined him Tk5,000 for helping Oishee in the murder of her parents. In case of defaulting the fine, Rony will have to serve a month in jail.
The court acquitted Jony of the charges.
The court also said Oishee was not a juvenile at the time of the murder.
According to the case statement, the bodies of Mahfuzur and Swapna were found at their Chamelibagh residence on August 16, 2013.
Oishee, who had taken her O-level examination, surrendered at Paltan police station the following day.
Later, police arrested their house help Khadiza Khatun Sumi, and Oishee’s friends Jony and Rony.
