Police have shown Ayesha Siddika Minni arrested for killing her husband Rifat Sharif after a Barguna court on Wednesday sentenced six people including her to death for the murder.
She is currently in police custody.
The High Court on August 29 last year granted bail to Minni on condition that she would remain in her father’s custody and refrain from talking to the media.
District and Sessions Judge Md Asaduzzaman delivered the verdict Wednesday afternoon. The court also acquitted four others in the sensational murder.
Rifat, 22, son of Dulal Sharif, was hacked to death in broad daylight in the district town on June 26 last year.
He was attacked near the main gate of Barguna Government College. Surveillance camera footage showed his wife Minni apparently trying to save him.
Twenty-four people were accused in the murder case filed by Rifat’s father. Minni, initially named as a witness, was later arrested on July 16 last year and made an accused.
Sabbir Ahmed alias Nayon Bond, the main accused, was killed in an alleged gunfight with police on July 2.
