The third accused in the case, former police chief Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun, was spared the death penalty. He will only face five years in prison because he admitted his guilt and assisted the case by becoming a witness for the government. Sheikh Hasina is currently living in exile in India and has refused to appear before the court.
