Swapna Khatun, sentenced to death for her role in the murder of eight-year-old Ramisa Akter, is spending her days in the condemned cell of Kashimpur Women’s Central Jail. In an interview with Amar Desh, she expressed deep regret over marrying her drug-addicted husband, Sohel Rana, who was the main perpetrator of the crime. Swapna, originally from Singra in Natore, has been in prison since May 20 following the tribunal’s verdict.

According to court documents, Sohel raped and murdered Ramisa inside their Mirpur flat, later dismembering the body before fleeing through a window. Swapna was found guilty of aiding the crime by helping her husband escape and concealing evidence. Witnesses and investigators confirmed her involvement, leading the Dhaka Child Violence Prevention Tribunal to sentence both Sohel and Swapna to death.

Swapna reportedly spends most of her time crying in her cell, haunted by memories of her son and mother. The case has drawn attention for its brutality and the couple’s direct participation in the killing.
