BANGLADESH:
Woman to die for killing infant
A Satkhira court yesterday sentenced a woman to death penalty for killing her
newly born girl 5 years back.
Additional District Sessions' Judge Sharif AM Jaker announced the verdict
against Rezia Khatun,25, daughter of Abdul Majed Gazi, a resident of Rahimpur
upazila under Kaliganj upazila of the district, in a crowded courtroom. Rezia
has remained absconding since she got bail.
The court also acquitted Kashem Kopali as allegations could not be proved
against him during prosecution.
Public Prosecutor Advocate Osman Goni said police recovered the body of an
infant from a pond on February 25, 2010.
Then local people said the baby was a result of an illicit relationship between
Rezia Begum and Kashem Kopali. Although an unnatural case was filed in this
connection, later a murder case was filed against Rezia after investigation.
Rezia strangled the infant soon after its birth to get rid of social stigma.
Then, police arrested Rezia and Kashem. The court handed down the verdict after
cross-checking 14 witnesses and documents.
