Morgue asst arrested on charges of necrophilia
CID officers arrested a morgue assistant of Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College on charges of necrophilia.
Munna Bhakta was arrested after the forensic lab of Criminal Investigation Department found his sperm on multiple dead bodies of women whose autopsies were done at the SSMC morgue between March 2019 and August 2020.
Officials making DNA profiles first came to the conclusion that the sperm found on five bodies of women, who died by suicide, are from one man, said CID Additional Superintendent of Police Zakir Hossain.
The forensic lab informed CID's Dhaka Metropolitan (West) unit about the matter on November 10.
Investigators initially thought a rapist serial killer was on the loose. But the postmortem reports showed no indication of rape, nor did the bodies bear any bruise mark.
The officers also noted that the five bodies had been kept at the SSMC morgue the night before the autopsies were done.
Upon further scrutiny, they learned about 20-year-old Munna who used to live on the morgue premises. Officials then collected his DNA samples from tea cups and cigarette butts and a test revealed that sperm found on the bodies was his.
The CID in a press release yesterday said they filed a case with Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Police Station in this regard.
Police said Munna has been working as an assistant for the last two years.
"When we interrogated him, he seemed quite nonchalant. He has a perverse fascination. The bodies are of women who died aged between 12 and 20," the ASP said.
