Beheaded body found in cop barracks

Police yesterday recovered a man's body, with the severed head missing, stab wounds in the abdomen and donning navy blue trousers and a black T-shirt, from the roof of a traffic police barrack in the capital.
Meanwhile, schoolmates of a 13-year-old boy whose body police recovered from his Muradpur residence in the capital's Jurain on Monday pelted bricks at the residence accusing the father of murdering him.
Dhaka Metropolitan Police (Motijheel division) Deputy Commissioner Ashrafuzzaman suspected it a murder taking place the night before.
Requesting anonymity, a traffic constable residing on the fourth floor of the five-storey building adjacent to Paltan Police Station and Central Police Hospital said the roof can be reached only by a ladder.
The opening leading to the roof is so small and the ladder is so close to the rooms that the murder must have taken place on the roof, he said.
Members of other law enforcing agencies, including Ansar and Special Branch, also reside in the building. Dhaka Medical College Hospital sources said the autopsy would be done today.

In the other incident, Kadamtoli police, quoting family members, said Shihab Sarker alias Piyas, a seventh grader of Samirunnessa High School, intentionally took something poisonous and police had to break into his room to get the body.
Local people also alleged that the father Haji Ripon also killed Shihab's mother three years back. However, police claimed it another suicide. Ripon could not be contacted for comment.
