The convicts are Moin alias Annaf, 20, son of Muhammad Mamun, and his friend Habiba Kumkum alias Oishi, 19, of Hetemkha Sahajipara area in the metropolis.

Muhammad Mohiduzzaman, Judge of Speedy Trial Tribunal, found the convicts guilty of the murder charge and handed down the verdict in presence of the convicts.

Two other accused of the case were acquitted as the killing charge brought against them couldn't be proved beyond doubt.
