HC cancels bail of Samiul murder case accused

The High Court has scrapped bail it granted to the main accused in Samiul Azim murder case. An HC bench comprising justices Md Nizamul Huq and M Jahangir Hossain has passed the order following a petition seeking cancellation of the bail provided to M Shamsuzzaman, alias Arif. The court also directed the accused who allegedly issued death threat to plaintiff after being released from jail following the HC bail granted on February 16 this year, to surrender before the lower court. On February 22, 2010, police recovered the body of six-year-old boy Samiul two days after he had gone missing from the capital’s Adabar area. Samiul, a nursery student of Greenwoods Kindergarten at Mohammadpur, was found stuffed in a sack left in an empty plot in Adabar. Samiul's father Azam filed a murder case accusing his wife Humaira, Shamsuzzaman, alias Arif and some unidentified people. Humaira, in primary interrogation, confessed to having an extramarital relation with Arif. Humaira and Arif killed the boy as he knew about their illicit affairs. Later, formal charges against the duo were submitted to the court concerned, according to UNB.
