Jahed confesses to killing Kafil

"I strangled Kafil and, later, cut the veins on his neck and right hand so that police could not suspect me as the killer," confessed the person who allegedly killed university student Mohammad Kafil Uddin in the port city last Monday.
The self-confessed killer, Md Jahed Mahmud, 20, son of Selim Mahmud, hailed from the city's Bagmoniram Lane area, was arrested on Saturday.
Police also recovered Tk 12,500 cash, a laptop and a school bag, all belonging to Kafil, from Jahed's residence.
Confessing his crime before the media at Chittagong Metropolitan Police (CMP) headquarter yesterday, Jahed said, “I have killed Kafil by strangulating him and I should be punished for my crime.”
Admitting his attraction towards detective serials and novels, he admitted to have cut Kafil's veins with an anti-cutter to avoid suspicion.
CMP Commissioner Abul Kashem, terming the murder pre-planned, said Jahed had greed for Kafil's money and laptop.
“He took part at Kafil's namaz-a-janaza at Anwara and also went to Kafil's house so that no one would suspect him as the killer,” he said. Police said Jahed and Kafil were friends and worked as members of Destiny-2000.
On December 18, Jahed took Kafil to a cafe in Lalkhan Bazar and, later on, took Kafil to a spot adjacent to Jamiatul Falah Mosque to chit chat, said police.
Next day, police found the body of Kafil, a student of International Islamic University Chittagong, from the area.
