Death reference in Ramisa rape-murder case sent to HC

The death reference of the two convicts, along with the full judgment in the widely discussed case over the rape and murder of eight-year-old Ramisa Akter, has been forwarded to the High Court (HC).

The documents were sent to the HC on Tuesday following an order passed by Judge Masrur Salekin of the Dhaka Metropolitan Children Violence Suppression Tribunal.

Pankaj Peter Gomes, bench assistant of the tribunal, confirmed the matter, saying that the documents totaling 72 pages, including a 69-page full judgment and a three-page death reference, have been sent at around 3:40 pm.

Ramisa, a class II student of Popular Model High School, was raped and beheaded by her neighbour, Sohel Rana, at his flat in the Millat Camp area of Pallabi on 19 May. Her father filed the case the following day.
