Prime accused arrested

The prime accused in the killing of a female doctor at her clinic office in the capital early Friday was arrested in Brahmanbaria yesterday.
The arrestee, Faysal, 27, was the caretaker of the clinic in Dhakshin Khan, where Dr Sajia Afrin Eva, 28, was strangled after an attempted rape.
Investigator of the murder case, Sub-inspector Golam Sarwar of Dakshin Khan Police Station, said Faysal confessed to killing Eva.
Police quoted Faysal as saying that he used to stay in the room next to Eva's duty room. On Friday, he entered her room at 12:30am and forced her onto bed to rape her. He strangled Eva when she resisted.
Faysal went missing soon after the killing. He was arrested at his grand father's house in Nabinagar of Brahmanbaria, police said.
Eva's father Monirul Islam sued three staff of Amtola Brac Clinic, including Faysal, and some unidentified others on Friday.
Eva graduated from Sylhet Osmani Medical College and started working at the clinic less than two weeks ago. She used to work at night and live with her family in Ashkona. Eva had also been pursuing her FCPS degree.
Monirul, a serving sub-inspector of police in Brahmanbaria, said he had struggled hard to bring up his two daughters of whom Eva was the elder. He dreamed that Eva would have been an eminent physician.
