A Dhaka tribunal has set June 7, Sunday, for delivering the verdict in the case over the rape and murder of eight-year-old schoolgirl Ramisa Akter in Pallabi. The date was fixed by Judge Masrur Salekin of the Dhaka Metropolitan Tribunal for Suppression of Violence Against Children after hearing closing arguments from both prosecution and defense.

The verdict will conclude a fast-tracked trial that began after the completion of witness testimonies and arguments earlier this week.
