Bangladeshi gets 40 yrs in 1989 Angola slaying

A man who fled to his native Bangladesh more than two decades ago after being charged in connection with the death of a romantic rival in Angola, has been sentenced to 40 years in prison. A Steuben County Judge sentenced 47-year-old Mahfuz Huq on Monday, about 25 years after his romantic rival Todd Kelley was killed at the victim’s home in Hamilton, Angola. Huq pleaded guilty in November last year to voluntary manslaughter. After fatal stabbing of 19-year-old Kelley in Hamilton, about 30 miles north of Fort Wayne, on August 9 in 1989, Mahfuz Huq left the south-western African country and lived in Bangladesh, where authorities were unable to reach him due to extradition laws. He was arrested while making a trip to India in February 2011 and was extradited to Steuben County in July, 2013. Mahfuz expressed remorse and cried before a packed courtroom in Angola, according to AP.
