A Chattogram court has sentenced three people, including a woman, to death for the murder of her husband.
Chattogram Additional District and Sessions Judge HM Shafiqul Islam delivered the verdict on Monday.
The death row convicts are Rima Akhter, Shahadat Hossain Quayyum, and Abdul Quayyum.
Afsar Uddin Helal, the additional public prosecutor at the court, said that the court sentenced the three after finding them guilty of killing Rima’s husband in connection with an extramarital affair.
“Of the other two convicts, Rima Akhter had an extramarital relationship with Shahadat Hossain Quayyum. Abdul Quayyum is Shahadat Hossain Quayyum’s friend.”
They were in court at the time of the verdict and were sent to prison afterwards, Afsar said.
