Double murder in capital
Two youths were killed inside a flat at West Shewrapara of the capital's Mirpur yesterday.
Anharul Islam Razib, 28, who got his MBA a few months ago, and Khairul Bashar, 28, an employee of a firm, were found dead inside their flat on the first floor of a four-storey building, said landlord Saidur Rahman.
Seven youths, including the duo, had leased the flat eight months ago, he added.
Karim, one of the flat mates, said he had gone to work in the morning, but found them dead returning home around 2:00pm for lunch.
They bore injuries in their heads, said Maruf Ahmed, inspector of Sher-e Bangla Nagar Police Station.
The law enforcers could not immediately ascertain the motive behind the murders, but said the criminals took away three computer monitors from the flat.
Three people -- two flat mates and their house help -- have been detained in this connection. Police said one of the flat mates was missing while two others had been outside Dhaka for a few days.
Ahsan Habib Sozib, brother of victim Razib, said Razib was looking for a job and had been giving private tuition to make ends meet. His mobile phone was missing, the brother said.
A relative of other victim Bashar said Bashar had started living in the flat since May 1 and his mobile phone was missing as well.
In another incident, police recovered the decomposed body of one Md Sabbir from the top floor of an under-construction building near his home in the capital's Kamrangirchar area.
A sub-inspector of Kamrangirchar Police Station said the victim had been missing for five days.
The sub-inspector said police found a pack of playing cards next to the corpse and suspected Sabbir might have been killed over a gambling feud.
