Police are still in dark to unearth the clue of the two sensational murders within a week in Gouripur upazila under Mymensingh district.
Even they have failed to ascertain identities of the victims who believed to be mother and daughter, police sources said.
Bodies of the victims were found in a beel of the area.
Police on Friday recovered a decomposed body of a woman from Baleshwar Beel (water body) under the Ramgopalpur Union of Gouripur upazila in the district.
On October 21, they also recovered an unknown body of a minor girl from the same beel.
According to police and locals, the woman was violated and burned to death by unidentified miscreants who later dumped the body into the beel.
Locals also believed the deceased were mother and daughter.
Confirming the incidents, Delwar Ahmed, Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Gouripuir Police Station told The New Nation on Saturday that both the incidents have created panic among the people in the area.
“We are yet to find any clue behind the murders and also could not confirm identities of the deceased,” he said.
“We are yet to ascertain the relationship between the two. But a rumor has been spread in the area they could be mother and daughter,” the OC said.
When asked, Delwar Ahmed said the miscreants might have burned of the body of the woman so that nobody could identify her. “Autopsies of the bodies have already been completed. Samples were also collected for DNA and forensic tests to ascertain the relationship of the two recovered bodies and whether the woman was violated before the murder,” he added. The OC, however, said that they were investigating into the incidents with utmost sincerity to unearth the motive behind the killings.
