Dhaka: A court here
Sunday awarded death penalty to five people for the murder of
Saudi diplomat Khalaf Al Ali, Xinhua reported.
Of the condemned killers, four are behind the bars while one is on
the run. The punishment of the only fugitive will be effective
from the day of his arrest or surrender, said Judge Mohammad
Motahar Hossain of the Speedy Trial Tribunal-4 in Dhaka while
announcing the verdict.
The 45-year-old diplomat, a second secretary at the Royal Embassy

March 6.
This is the first time a foreign diplomat was murdered in the
Muslim-majority nation which enjoys good relations with Saudi
Arabia where over two million workers from the South Asian nation
are living and working.
