Jubo League activist sent to jail over killing friend
A Chittagong court yesterday sent a Jubo League (JL) activist to jail in connection with the murder of his friend on August 9.
Chittagong Metropolitan Magistrate Nazmul Hossen sent JL activist Amit Muhuri to jail after he was produced before the court with a 10-day remand prayer.
It also fixed today for hearing the prayer, said Additional Deputy Commissioner (persecution) Nirmalendu Bikash Chawakrabarty.
Amit is also an accused in a double murder case in the city's CRB area in 2013, said police.
On August 9, Amit and his associates murdered Imranul Karim Imon by stabbing and strangling him at Amit's residence in Nandankanon area as Imon allegedly stalked Amit's wife, said Assistant Commissioner (AC) Jahangir Alam of Chittagong Metropolitan Police (Kotwali Circle).
After the murder, they tried to hide the body inside a drum by pouring acid and filling it up with cement. Later, they dumped the body near Ranir Dighir Par in Enayet Bazar area.
Covered in concrete, Imon's body was recovered on August 13. A murder case was filed with Kotwali Police Station the same day.
Earlier, Amit gave his confessional statement before a court on Sunday after he was arrested in Comilla Sadar area the day before, said AC Jahangir Alam.
His two associates -- Safiqur Rahman Safi and Imam Hossen Mazumdar Shishir -- were arrested from Chittagong and Comilla on August 30. They also gave their confessional statements, said the AC.
During the confessions, Shishir said Amit committed the murder. But Amit said Shishir was the one who stabbed Imon in the face while he stabbed Imon in the thigh, said the AC.
Police were yet to recover the knife used in the murder. “We are trying to arrest the rest of the accused,” said the AC.
