A court yesterday awarded death penalty to a man for killing wife for dowry. Convict Firoz Mahmud is son of Abdur Razzak Sheikh of village Sharshuna in Shalikha upazila. Judge of Women and Children Repression Prevention Court Mohammad Nazir Ahmed, however, acquitted eight others of the charges. According to the prosecution story, Firoz beat his wife Monira Khatun dead for dowry in February, 2006. The following day brother of the deceased Kazi Azizur Rahman filed a case accusing nine people.
