A Feni court on Thursday sentenced a man to death for killing his wife on Facebook live over a family feud in 2020.

Judge Dr Begum Jebunnesa of District and Sessions Judge Court handed down the verdict.

The death-row convict is identified as Obaidul Haque Tutul of Bahirpur area of the district town.
