Staff Reporter :
A Barguna court on Thursday set September 3 for submission of charge sheet in Rifat Sharif murder case.
Senior Judicial Magistrate Gazi Sirajul Islam fixed the new date of charge sheet submission when police sought more time yesterday, reports our Patuakhali correspondent.
The law enforcers were scheduled to submit the charge-sheet on Thursday, but they could not as they are yet to finalise it, said defence lawyer Golam Mostafa.
Fourteen accused, who gave confessional statement in connection with the case, were produced in the court around 10:30am. Four more accused are still on the run, according to police.
On June 26, twenty-five-year-old Rifat, an internet services provider, was hacked to death in broad daylight in Barguna town. A video footage of the incident showed Minni trying in vain to save her husband from the attackers.
The prime accused, Sabbir Hossain Nayan, also known as Nayan Bond, was killed in a so-called gunfight with police on July 2 in Barguna.
