Prime accused confesses killings

Sumon, the main accused in the Jatrabari triple murder case, confessed to the killings before a Dhaka court yesterday.
Sheikh Mahbubur Rahman, investigation officer of the case, however, declined to give any details of the statement.
Sumon is nephew of Mizanur Rahman, one of the victims.
Mizanur Rahman, along with his wife Bithi Rahman and mother Sufia Begum, was shot and stabbed to death at his Jatrabari residence on Shahid Faruq road on September 30.
Jatrabari police earlier quoting Sumon said the murder was committed to grab family property.
Meanwhile, detective police took Sumon's associate Delwar Hossain Delu, who was arrested on Monday, on a three-day remand.
DB inspector Mahbubur said they also picked up Delu's sister-in-law Ruby on Monday, as they recovered the bloodstained dresses of the accused killers from her house.
She was released yesterday after interrogation.
On October 3, police recovered Mizanur's pistol, which the killers used in the offence and then took away, from a tin shed makeshift structure on Shahid Faruq road where it was left along with two knives.
Earlier, Deputy Commissioner Taufiq Mahmud of DMP's Wari Zone had told The Daily Star that Sumon confessed he and two of his accomplices committed the murder with Mizanur's firearm.
He also disclosed one of his associates' names to police.
Taufiq said Sumon had a plan to kill all of Mizanur's family members.
Ontu, son of deceased Mizanur couple, survived, as he left home a few minutes before the incident that took place around 7:30am.
