Rab officials produced Faizul before the court of Chief Metropolitan Magistrate in Dhaka with a prayer for seven-day remand, but the court granted five days.

Rab officials said they sought Faizul's remand to cross-check the information that he has divulged so far are authentic and to find out whether others than the three accomplices he had already named were also involved in the murder.

Advocate Sayma was slaughtered inside her residence at the Prince Tower of Elephant Road on July 17.

Faizul, who was arrested by Rab from New Market area on Monday, had confessed to killing her.

He claimed that he gave a total of Tk12 lakh to Sayma who promised him to arrange a cadre service job under the 27th BCS examination, but in vain.

Sayma's husband Zahirul Islam, a retired PWD engineer, told The Daily Star yesterday that they rejected the story, and Faizul went to his apartment on that fateful day to commit robbery.

Meanwhile, two domestic helps Mina and Aleya who were present at the time of killing were handed over to Rab-2 yesterday.

Newmarket police earlier showed them accused in the murder case and took them to seven-day remand on July 18 for interrogations.
