A court here yesterday set October 10 to pronounce judgement in a case lodged over murder of city’s Wills Little Flower School and College student Suraia Akter Risha around three years

ago.

Yesterday was fixed for pronouncing the verdict, but Dhaka Metropolitan Session Judge KM Imrul Qayes reset the date as jail authorities could not produce the sole accused in the case before the court from Kashimpur Central Prison.

Risha, a student of capital’s Wills Little Flower School and College was knifed by accused Obaidul Khan in front of the school on August 24, 2016. The eighth-grader died of her injuries in hospital four-days later.

Obaidul, a tailor by profession, used to disturb the girl over phone and stalk her while coming and going to school. In this circumstance, Risha’s mother even warned him for his offence.
