Staff Reporter :The mother of the two siblings, who were found killed on Monday in the capital’s Banasree, has confessed to killing her children, claims Rapid Action Battalion (RAB). Mufti Mahmud Khan, Director of RAB’s Legal and Media Wing, said this at a press conference at the elite force’s Headquarters in Uttara on Thursday afternoon.Jasmine made the confession during primary interrogation at the elite force’s custody, the RAB officer said. Quoting Mahfuza Maleq alias Jesmine, the main suspect in the mysterious incident, the RAB official told reporters that she was worried about the education and future of her children. That is why she killed her two innocent children.He also said that Jesmine killed her children over extra-marital affair and psychological and social disorder.”Mahfuza strangled her daughter with her scarf. During the scuffle, Oroni fell off from the bed. After making sure that her daughter is dead, she then killed her son in similar way,” the RAB official said. He said, “In an effort to cover it up, she then called her husband and said the children were sick. “Amanullah (the father) then sent two of his friends to the home. The children were taken to the hospital where doctors declared them dead.”But in the media call, RAB could not come up with a credible explanation as to why a mentally sound mother would kill her children out of frustration over their education.The RAB spokesman also informed that a case over the incident will be filed and there will be further investigation to find out more details. Amanullah is a businessman of garment accessories, it is learnt. Earlier in the morning, RAB said that mental anxiety, family or social disorder, psychological illness, extra-marital affair, and grabbing of wealth and property are the main reasons behind the killing.Meanwhile, forensic experts suspicion that the two siblings might have been murdered get reinforced further as investigators on Tuesday said information provided by the parents and relatives did not match.Investigators said, the mother Mahfuza Malek Jesmine had the same meal with her children, through both Mahfuza and her sister Afroza Akhter claimed that only the children had Chinese food. Besides, Mahfuza chose to stay at home when her children were taken to a nearby hospital, an act the investigators dubbed “unusual and suspicious.”Afroza on Monday told reporters at the DMCH that her sister and the children’s grandmother were at home at that time. Afroza, who lives down the road, claimed she had gone to her sister’s house after Mahfuza called her over phone.When asked, RAB Additional Director General Ziaul Ahsan told whether the father Amanullah too was involved, he said, “We are yet to be certain about that. He is being questioned.” He claimed that Jesmine confessed before the security force that she strangulated her children to death over extra-marital affair and family squabble.The two siblings — Nusrat Jahan Urmi, 14, a Class-VII student of Viqarunnisa Noon School and her younger brother Alvi Aman, 6, a nursery student of Holy Crescent School in Banasree — were found dead at home in the city’s Banasree on Monday night. Family members claimed that the children slept after having leftover Chinese food at lunch and did not wake up.
