Gold trader's remains found in septic tank

Detectives have found the remains of a gold trader, who had been missing for 21 days, in a septic tank in Narayanganj city yesterday.

The body of Probir Chandra Ghosh, 35, was cut into five pieces.

Pintu, a suspect arrested after the victim went missing, provided interrogators with information that led to the discovery, said Sharfuddin, additional superintendent of police in Narayanganj.

The remains were found in several bags in the septic tank of a building in Amlapara area, he added.

His grieving family members and several rights organisations have been urging the authorities to find him since he disappeared shortly after leaving home on June 18.
