Stalker confesses to killing bride’s father
A murder case was filed early yesterday against the stalker who stabbed the father of a bride to death and seriously injured her mother in the capital’s Moghbazar on Thursday.
Sujon Mia, brother of the bride, filed the case with Hatirjheel Police Station, accusing Sajib Ahmed Rokey.
Rokey was caught after stabbing Dulal Mia and his wife Firoza Khatun at their daughter’s wedding at a local community centre.
He confessed to killing Dulal and stabbing his wife before a Dhaka court yesterday. After recording his confessional statement, the court sent him to jail, said investigation officer of the case, Sub-inspector Abdur Rouf.
The IO said Rokey admitted to them that he carried out the attack as the family did not want to marry their daughter off to him.
Meanwhile, the condition of Firoza, who has been undergoing treatment at Dhaka Medical College Hospital, is still critical. Sujon said his mother needed four bags of blood yesterday.
“I’m at a loss about whether I should bury my father or stay back with my mother whose condition is critical,” a distraught Sujon told The Daily Star.
He said soon after the wedding on Thursday, he sent his only sister with her husband to her in-laws’ village home, fearing attacks on her. “My sister could not even see the face of our deceased father one last time,” he said.
Sujon also said Rokey, along with another youth, went to their Dilu Road home on the morning of the wedding and threatened to kill his father if he married off his daughter to anyone else.
