UNB, Shariatpur :
Police recovered the body of a college girl from a beel (water body) in Shariatpur Municipal area on Friday,
five days after she had gone missing.
The victim was identified as Samsunnahar, 22, an honours student of Government Golam Hader Khan Women’s College and daughter of Hafiz Uddin Patwari of Charsundipur village in Sadar upazila.
Locals said Samsunnahar was married off to Ishaque Mollah of Shariatpur municipal area in 2011. Few days into the
marriage, Ishaque went to the United Arab Emirates for work. Samsunnahar allegedly developed an extramarital relation with Rezaul Karim, son of Quader Talukder of Charsundipur village.
The girl went missing on Sunday on her way to her father’s house from the father-in-law’s.
Following the incident, her brother-in-law lodged a general diary with Sadar Police Station.
Tracking the call lists of the missing girl’s cell phone, police detained Rezaul Karim on Thursday.
On the basis of information gleaned from Rezaul, police arrested two other youths-Saiful Peda and Dulal Miah, both students of Shariatpur Government College.
The trio confessed to superintendent of police Saifullah Al Mamun late on Thursday night that they had killed Samsunnahar. Following the confession, police recovered the body tied with bricks from Dhanuker beel on Friday morning.
Officer-in-charge of Sadar Police Station Monirul Islam quoted Rezaul as saying that he abducted the girl after calling her out of her father-in-law’s house.
Later, she was taken to an orchard and strangled after rape. The body was dumped into the Dhanuka beel tying with bricks, said the OC giving horrible description of the murder.
Nasir Uddin, victim’s uncle who was battered by shock, demanded exemplary punishment to those involved in the gruesome killing. SP Saifullah Al Maum described the incident as a cold-blooded murder.
