Death demanded for murderers
Published: 28th May 2007
A PROSECUTION appeal for the death sentence for two Bangladeshis, serving life terms for their part in the murder of their countryman Risar Mian, has been adjourned until October 9.
The death sentence was handed down in January to a third Bangladeshi, who actually strangled Mr Mian.
He was said to have wrapped a cloth around the victim’s neck and strangled him to death in October 2005 in Janusan.
One of his two accomplices pressed a towel over his mouth to suffocate him and the third held his legs to stop him from moving.
The police medical report found that he struggled so much that he suffered several injuries to his body before he died.

One of his two accomplices pressed a towel over his mouth to suffocate him and the third held his legs to stop him from moving.
The police medical report found that he struggled so much that he suffered several injuries to his body before he died.
Mr Mian was the unsuspecting victim in a plot to steal his money, which involved luring him to a farm where he thought he would meet a woman on the night of October 23, 2005.
However, when he got there he was ambushed by his three attackers and murdered in cold blood for BD400 and his mobile phone.
The three murderers then dug a shallow grave where they buried his body before covering it up with branches and leaves.
His body was discovered the following day by a farm worker who noticed some equipment had gone missing.
The worker went looking for the missing equipment, but called police when he saw human fingers sticking out of the ground.
