A Narayanganj court on Sunday sentenced four people to death and two others to life imprisonment for killing a schoolboy in 2013.
Additional District and Sessions Judge Court-2 Begum Sabina Yeasmin handed down the verdict.
The convicts are Siraj, 45, son of Abdus Samad, Ahmed Ali, 55, Nahid, 21, son of Amanullah, and Sentu Mia, 25.
The lifers are Salma, 42, son of Sirajul Islam Siraj, and Husna, 47, wife of Ahmed.
The court also acquitted four accused from the murder charges as allegations brought against them could not be proved.
According to the prosecution, Ahmed Ali and his nephew Iqbal, a Bangladeshi expatriate in Singapore and son of Ismail Hossain of Fatulla, had longstanding enmity with Iqbal.
Ahmed took Iqbal’s brother Emon Hossain, 13, a sixth-grade student, and chopped his body into nine pieces on June 13, 2013.
Later, police recovered the body of Emon and a complaint was lodged with the Narayanganj Sadar police station.
After investigation, police submitted a charge sheet against ten people.
