Alleged serial killer sentenced to death in Bangladesh

An alleged serial killer sentenced to death by a Bangladesh court Wednesday for torturing and murdering a woman may have claimed at least seven other victims, authorities said.

It was the second time Rosu Khan had been condemned to death after a separate court in 2015 ordered his hanging for murdering another woman.

Prosecutors in the latest case said Khan and two accomplices lured a 35-year-old woman to a deserted area where she was raped, tortured and murdered.

"It was a gruesome killing," said prosecutor Habibul Islam Talukder from Chandpur, the southern district where a special tribunal heard the case.

Khan, 46, could appeal against Wednesday's verdict in a higher court. The 2015 verdict is currently under appeal.

Talukder said Khan also faces charges of murdering seven other women whose bodies have been found, and had told a magistrate during the investigative process that he was behind the death of at least 11 women.
