Dhaka, June 7 -- A group of college students have gone to a Dhaka courtroom to hear the verdict in the rape and murder case of 8-year-old Ramisa Akter.

One of them asked, "Did the suspect's hand not tremble even once?"

The students, all Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) candidates from Government Shaheed Suhrawardy College, arrived at the Old Dhaka court premises on Sunday morning to witness the outcome of the widely discussed case.

Judge Masrur Salekin of the Dhaka Metropolitan Child Violence Suppression Tribunal delivered the verdict around 11:30am, handing down the death penalty to Sohel Rana and his wife Swapna Akter, who lived in the flat next to Ramisa's family.
