Three confess to killing Natore madrasa boy

Three accused in the case for killing Mohammad Tanvir, a student of Ashraful Ulum Madrasa in the district, gave their confessional statement before a court here on Wednesday.

Senior Judicial Magistrate Anamul Haque Bashunia recorded their statement for three hours from 5:00pm to 8:00pm.

On the night of August 25, madrasa students Bayezid and Hossain and their friend Naim called Tanvir to their room. They slaughtered Tanvir and dumped the body into a septic tank.

Later, they demanded Tk 5 lakh as ransom from Tanvir's father.

Tanvir's father filed a general diary with Sadar Police Station the following day and informed Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) of the matter.

Members of Rab-5 arrested Bayezid by tracking his mobile phone. After interrogation, Bayezid confessed to his involvement in the murder and gave information about two other murderers.

On the basis of his statement, the elite force recovered Tanvir's body from the septic tank. They also arrested Hossain and Naim in connection with the killing.
