Cook confesses to killing Keraniganj madrasa boy
Cook Shah Alam yesterday confessed to killing a madrasa boy in Keraniganj on the outskirts of the capital, said police.
As he failed to sodomize Abu Raihan, 11, and the boy threatened to disclose the illicit attempt, Alam slit his throat with a knife in the kitchen of Tahfizul Quran Nurani Hafizia Madrasa, the law enforcers quoted Alam as saying.
On Monday morning, police recovered the body of Raihan from the kitchen.
Police detained seven madrasa staff including the cook for interrogation.
Around 1:00am Monday, when Raihan, a residential student, came out of his room to go to the toilet, Alam, 35, tried to take him to his room, said Habibur Rahman, superintendent of police in Dhaka, at a press briefing at the media centre of Dhaka Metropolitan Police.
While talking to reporters, Alam said before committing the murder he knocked him down the floor and sat on the boy's chest.
Police seized Alam's bloodstained lungi and the kitchen knife from the madrasa, in where Raihan and his elder brother Rejwan Rony had been studying for three years.
The victim's father Murad Ali filed a murder case with South Keraniganj Police Station.
