Trader killed in front of son: 3 accused remanded

A Dhaka court today placed three accused on a four-day remand each in a case filed over the killing of trader Md Shahinuddin in front of his seven-year-old son in the city's Pallabi area on May 16.

The accused are Mohammad Titu (30), Iqbal Noor (21) and Mohammad Sharif (20).

Metropolitan Magistrate Dhiman Chandra Mondol passed the order after Syed Iftekhar Hossain, an inspector of Detective Branch of Police and also the investigation officer of the case, produced them before the court with a 10-day remand prayer.

In today's remand prayer, the IO said Titu is an FIR-named accused and he was involved with the incident while the names of Noor and Sharif were found in the investigation. So, they need to be remanded to know the whereabouts of others responsible, the IO added.

No lawyers were present in the court to defend them.

Yesterday, Mohamnad Murad and Rony Talukder gave confessional statements before a Dhaka magistrate.

Meanwhile, another Dhaka court on Friday placed former lawmaker from Laxmipur MA Awal, Zahirul Islam Babu and Nur Mohammad Hasan on a four-day remand each in the same case.

A day after the murder in the afternoon of May 16, the mother of victim Shahinuddin (33) filed a case against 20 named and 13 to 14 other unnamed accused with Pallabi Police Station.

Awal was made the prime accused in the case.
