Court takes cognisance of charge against Oishee

A Dhaka court yesterday took cognisance of charges against Oishee Rahman for killing her parents, Special Branch of Police inspector Mahfuzur Rahman and Swapna Rahman, in August last year.
The court also accepted charges against three other accused – domestic help Khadiza Akter Sumi, 11, and Oishee's two friends Asaduzzaman Jony, 27, and Mizanur Rahman Roni, 25.
The bodies of Mahfuzur and his wife, who were stabbed to death, were recovered in their Chamelibagh residence in the capital on August 16 last year.
On March 9, Detective Branch Inspector Abul Khair Matubbar, the investigation officer of the murder case, submitted two charge sheets – one against Oishee, Jony and Roni and another against Sumi – before the CMM's court of Dhaka.
According to the charge sheets, Oishee alone killed her parents, Jony instigated the murders and Rony gave her shelter after the incident. Sumi has been accused of assisting Oishee in concealing the bodies.
A separate charge sheet against Sumi was submitted because she is now under 18 and so her trial will be held in a juvenile court.
