Two flatmates confess to killing

Two youths found dead inside their residence in the capital's West Shewrapara on May 31 were murdered by their two flatmates with the help of a professional killer over previous enmity and for their money and valuables.
This was confessed by one of the flamates, Milon, arrested by Rapid Action Battalion (Rab)-2 from Uttara's Abdullahpur early hours yesterday, said Rab officials.
Milon's accomplice Faruk; another flatmate, Karim; and a housemaid were arrested from the flat on the first floor of a four-storey building around an hour after Anharul Islam Razib, 28, and Khairul Bashar, 28, were found dead.
Seven youths used to reside in the flat. The remaining two went to their village home some days ago.
Milon said the target was Bashar as he used to tease him for being a shop employee at Bangladesh Computer Society but Razib was caught up in the circumstances as he witnessed the murder.
Milon and Faruk looted cellphones, cash, computers and ATM cards, none of which could be recovered yet, said Rab officials.
The case and arrestees were handed over to the Detective Branch of police.
