| DHAKA: A Bangladesh court has freed on bail a woman convicted of murdering her eight-year-old son after the boy, now aged 18, turned up to visit her in jail, a report said Tuesday. The boy, named Faruk, arrived at the jail in northern Sherpur district last month claiming his father had made him "vanish" in order to frame his mother after she divorced him in 1995, the report in the English language Daily Star said. Kamala Khatun and her second husband were convicted of the killing in May 1997 on the basis of circumstantial evidence given at their trial by her first husband, the report added. After considering Faruk's police statement, however, the Bangladesh High Court on Monday freed Khatun and her husband on bail pending the outcome of their appeal. |
