The Special Court of Woman and Children Repression Prevention in Nilphamari in a verdict on Thursday afternoon sentenced a man to death on charge of killing wife. His accomplice was jailed for life. According to the prosecution story, Montu Rahman, son of Anwarul Islam of Putimari village in Kishoreganj upazila married Jahanara Begum, daughter of Abdul Gani Mridha of Kheya Gari village of Patuakhali district several years ago. But the couple often quarreled over trivial matters. On April 18 night in 2007, in the name of visiting a relative's house, Montu took his wife to a distant place. There, in collusion with one Sadekin, he killed her and left the body in a maize field in Chapra Sarangani village of Sadar upazila.
