A young man was killed over theft of green coconut at Uttar Sharif village in Sadar upazila on Thursday night. Victim Yunus, 26, was son of Azizul Huq of the village. Sources said, Jamal, son of Sayedul Huq, along with his accomplices stole some green coconuts from the house of one Niranjan at noon. Village watchman Nabi later informed the matter to the landlord. This angered Jamal most and he along with his aide Zahiruddin Babar swooped on Nabi. Hearing Nabi's cry for help, locals rushed to the spot to save him. But Jamal stabbed Yunus indiscriminately, leaving him critically injured. Yunus was rushed to Noakhali General Hospital where he succumbed to his injury at about 11pm.
