Mymensingh 4-murder suspect found dead
The body of an alleged accused of killing a man and his three sons in Nandail upazila on Friday night was found at Bashati village in the upazila yesterday.
The deceased, Jamal Hossain, 22, is son of Lal Mia, the main accused of the incident.
Locals spotted Jamal's body lying beside a pond around 7:00am and informed the police, Syed Abdullah, officer-in-charge of Nandail Police Station, said.
Police went to the spot, recovered the body and sent it to Mymensingh Medical College Hospital morgue for autopsy. The body bore injury marks.
On Friday night, a man and three of his sons were stabbed to death by his brother and his hired goons over the ownership of a piece of land at Bashati village in the upazila.
The victims are Billal Hossain, 58, and his three sons Farid, 28, and Himel, 16, and Pavel, 18.
Billal's wife Banesa Begum, 45, also sustained critical injuries and is now undergoing treatment at Mymensingh Medical College Hospital.
The couple's two other sons, Kiran, 25, and Rubel, 20, fortunately escaped the attack as they were staying in another room of the house during the attack.
Quoting locals, victims' family members and relatives, police said there had been a longstanding rivalry between Billal and his elder brother Lal Mia over the ownership of a land at the village.
As a sequel to the enmity, Lal Mia and his two sons, Kamal Hossain, 25, and Jamal Hossain, 22, stormed into their house around 10:30pm and stabbed them indiscriminately with sharp weapons, killing them on the spot, Murad Ali, sub-inspector (SI) of Nandail Police Station, said.
Police quoted Billal's sister Kohila Begum as saying that Lal Mia demanded Tk 40,000 from her on Friday morning to serve his personal purpose.
As she denied paying the money, Lal Mia and his men beat up Kohila and her three daughters indiscriminately, leaving the four injured.
Kohila's daughters Kulsum, Fatema and Rehana were admitted to Kishoreganj Sadar Hospital with severe injuries.
Hearing the incident, Billal and his family members engaged in an altercation with Lal Mia and his family which triggered the brutal attack, police said.
Meanwhile, police arrested one Khokon Mia, 35, of the village early yesterday, for his alleged involvement in the killing.
Police produced him before a Mymensingh court yesterday noon that sent him to jail, the SI added.
