Girl found dead at home
Police recovered the body of a nine-year-old girl from her Dakshinkhan residence in Dhaka early yesterday.
The deceased was identified as Suraiya Akter, who used to live with her father and stepmother in Noapara area.
Mosharraf Hossain, sub-inspector of Dakshinkhan Police Station, said the body bore several old and fresh injury marks.
Police have detained stepmother Shibli Begum (26), while her father, Hafizul Islam, fled the scene, the SI added.
Suraiya used to live with Hafizul and his second wife ever since Hafizul divorced her mother, Aziron Begum, around four years ago.
Quoting neighbours, the SI said Hafizul and Shibli used to torture Suraiya often.
The body was sent to Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College morgue for autopsy to determine the cause of death, the police official said.
Aziron filed a case against Hafizul and Shibli with the police station yesterday.
