Shazneen murder case: verdict is befitting


I had been following the Shazneen murder case for quite a few years now; and I wondered will there be an end to this. Shazneen, as I came to know from The Daily Star, was fifteen and a student of the Scholastica School at the time of the horrible incident. I admire the patience the family of the girl has shown. They believed in the legal system of Bangladesh and it's worth. At last we had the opportunity to hear the verdict. The crime that the culprits have committed is beyond imagination. I, as an individual, denounce it wholeheartedly. I mean Shazneen had her own dreams and hopes, which the culprits took away from her. The verdict is just and I firmly hope that it will set up an example that crime does get punished in the end after all.
