A Satkhira court on Sunday sentenced a man to death for killing his wife in 2014 for dowry.

The court also fined the convict Tk 10,000, said Public Prosecutor Advocate Zahrul Haider.

According to the case statement, the convict is Rabiul Islam, resident of Mehedibag municipality of Satkhira district, used to torture his wife Rabeya for dowry.
