Outlaws slaughter 3 in Chuadanga

Three people were slaughtered in separate incidents allegedly by extremists in sadar and Alamdanga upazila Monday night in a spurt in such assassinations.

Police said Khabiruddin, 42, of Punch Kamlapur and Ali Hossain, 32, of neighbouring Bara Gangni villages in Alamdanga were called out of their houses to Jalshuka field.

"They were found dead on the field with their throats severed," said a spot report.

The outlawed Purba Banglar Communist Party's Janajuddha faction claimed responsibility for the killings, saying, "They were annihilated for harassing people as police sources."

In the other incident, Siddique Mandol, 35, of Subdia village in sadar upazila was killed in his cropland.

Family sources said Siddique went there to irrigate but did not return home.

He was found dead with his throat slit yesterday morning.

Police recovered the bodies and sent those to hospital for autopsy.
