The courts have awarded various degrees of punishment to most of the accused, including the maximum punishment to several of them, in the killing of two young boys in Sylhet and Khulna.

A Khulna court frames charges against three accused of killing 13-year-old boy Rakib.

A Khulna court placed Sharif and Mintu, the two prime accused in Rakib killing case, on a five-day remand.

We are appalled and outraged at the barbaric killing of a thirteen-year-old boy named Rakib in Khulna. The perpetrators inserted a high-pressure air pump nozzle into the boy's rectum and pumped air into his body that tore apart his intestine and burst his lungs.
