Hearing of blogger Wasikur murder trial adjourned till July 2

A Dhaka court on Thursday set July 2 for holding hearing of a case lodged over the murder of blogger Wasikur Rahman Babu, reports BSS.

Dhaka 3rd Metropolitan Magistrate Robiul Alam passed the order as the defence continued cross-examining the last investigation officer Shah Moshiur Rahman and failed to wrap up it on the day.

Earlier, Rahman submitted his testimony on May 28.

A total of 23 prosecution witnesses have testified in the case.

Wasikur was murdered on his way to office from his Tejgaon Begunbari house on March 30, 2015.

Police with the help of locals managed to detain two killers Zikrullah and Ariful Islam from the spot.

Three machetes were recovered from their possessions at that time.

Wasikur's brother-in-law Monir Hossain on that day filed a murder case with Tejgaon Police Station and the detainees were later shown arrested in that case.
