Sumaiya, 12, daughter of the main suspect killer, now undergoing treatment at the Dhaka Medical College and Hospital (DMCH), told police, “My father killed my aunt and two cousins.”
He also stabbed me in a bid to kill me,” she said.
Sumaiya further said, “My father is a drug addict and he even beat me and my mother on Wednesday. That’s why we came to my aunt’s house on Wednesday night.”
On Wednesday night, Abbas Miah came to his sister-in-laws’ house and slit the throats of the three — his elder sister-in-law and her two daughters — with a knife.  
The police later arrested Abbas.
