The severely decomposed body was found in a tin-shed house of Mirpur-13 in the morning, said Jashim Uddin Molla, Additional Deputy Commissioner (Mirpur zone) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police.
The locals informed police around 10:00am that a very bad odour was coming from inside a house, which was locked from outside. Police broke into the house and found the body in a highly decomposed state, the police official said.
