Siblings arrested for killing father
Jatrabari police yesterday arrested two siblings on charge of killing their father in their house in the city’s Konapara area early Sunday.
Shamim Hasan, 22, and Mohsina Afroz, 25, killed their father Mohibullah, 65, as a result of long-standing grudge, Ibrahim Khan, deputy commissioner (Wari Division) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police, told reporters at his office.
To escape arrest, they branded it as a robbery, and put household goods in disorder to support their claim, he said.
Ibrahim said a police team rushed to the house around 6am on Sunday on information of a murder. The head of the victim was found smashed.
His family members told police that a gang of robbers entered the house at midnight and killed him as he tried to resist them from looting valuables, the police officer said.
Police found their statements inconsistent, and after analysing evidence, picked them up. During interrogation, the duo admitted to killing their father, he said.
A case was filed with Jatrabari police.
