Three Bangladeshi men were convicted on Sunday over the murder of a fellow Bangladeshi man on Fuvahmulah in June 2011.
The 25 year-old victim, identified only as Shareeful, was found dead in a ditch with signs of torture. He had been working as a carpenter on the southern island.
Two of the defendants, M D Salam and Shareef, were found guilty of premeditated murder based on their confession to the police as well as eyewitness testimony, DNA evidence, and the crime scene examination report.
The pair was sentenced to 20 years in prison with reference to the old penal code.
