Suspect reveals account of grisly murder
One of the suspects in Fahmida Akhter Nazma murder case in a confessional statement before a magistrate has described how Dr Tozammel Hossain killed his wife at their Mirpur house on July 6.
Admitting to her involvement in the murder, Shamsunnahar Nargis said Tozammel first banged Nazma's head on the wall of a room and started punching her in the face as she fell on the floor.
With the help of Nargis, he took Nazma to the bathroom and cut the tendons of her legs and poured hot water on her face.
Police recovered Nazma's body from the bathroom of the house at Lane-5 in the city's Mirpur section-2 the same day after Tozammel reported that he found his wife dead after returning home.
The police have arrested Tozammel, a senior consultant of the National Institute of Traumatology, Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation (NITOR).
Nargis, the wife of Tozammel's relative Humayun Kabir, told the court that she has been engaged in an extramarital relationship with Tozammel since 2005.
She said Tozammel gave her Nazma's cell phone after the murder and asked her not to tell anyone about it. He also told her that he would cook up a story of robbery to cover up the murder.
Detective Branch of police, which is investigating the case, arrested Nargis on July 17 and seized the cell phone from her.
Nargis told the magistrate that Tozammel killed Nazma after she came to know about the extramarital relationship between her (Nargis) and Tozammel.
