Businessman found dead at home

A businessman was found murdered in his house in the capital's Gulshan yesterday.
Mohammad Fazlul Haque, 72, an importer and the owner of Haque Paint, was stabbed in the neck in his room on the first floor of his duplex house.
Police said the victim's wife, who slept in another room of the house, found Fazlul lying on the bed after she opened the door of the room with a duplicate key at about 9:30am.
The motive behind the killing could not be known immediately, said Khandaker Lutful Kabir, deputy commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (Gulshan division).
Fazlul did not have enmity with anyone, said MA Zakir, son-in-law of Fazlul.
Police suspect that someone in the house was involved in the murder. They detained eight people, who work in the house, for interrogation.
Whenever Fazlul faced nasal and sinus problems, he slept alone in a separate room without air conditioning, said his family members.
The victim's mobile phone and wallet had been missing after the incident. The lock of a cupboard in the room was also found broken, but Fazlul's family members could not say what had gone missing, said Rafiqul Islam, officer-in-charge of Gulshan Police Station.
Police found no sign of any tussle in the room. They suspect that the killer somehow entered the room and escaped after killing Fazlul while he was asleep. The murderer pressed the doorknob locking it from outside and left.
Police said they had found blood stains on the floor in and outside the room.
The body was sent to Dhaka Medical College morgue for autopsy.
