Hacked witness dies in hospital
A woman, who was hacked because she saw some miscreants fleeing after committing a rape and a double murder in Gazipur early Friday, died in a Dhaka hospital yesterday, said police.
Minara Begum, 44, wife of Siraj Uddin of neighbouring Noagaon village, succumbed to her injuries in an Uttara hospital, said the family.
She was attacked near their house after the occurrence, said Sreepur Police Station Officer-in-Charge Abdul Motaleb Miah.
Unknown assailants hacked Hasuni Bibi, 50, widow of Amir Uddin, her daughter Arifa Khatun, 18, after entering their house by breaking open the door at Atlora in Gazipur's Sreepur upazila early Friday.
Dr Abdus Salam Sarkar of Shaheed Tajuddin Ahmad Medical College Hospital, where the autopsies were conducted, confirmed that Arifa was raped.
Arifa's brother Mujibur Rahman, 23, filed a murder case with the police station accusing unknown miscreants.
However, police could arrest none in this connection.
