Beheaded body of 7-year-old recovered in Mirpur; police suspect rape by neighbour

Police recovered the beheaded body of a seven-year-old
child in the capital's Mirpur area.
The body was found around 9am this
morning (19 May) from the house of the child's neighbour Sohel in section 11 of
Pallabi in Mirpur, confirmed Emdadul Haque, inspector (investigation) of
Pallabi Police Station.
According to police, the initial
suspicions suggest that the 32-year-old Sohel raped and murdered the child. He
has been absconding since the incident, though police have taken his wife into
custody.
Emdadul said police recovered the body from the house after
receiving a call via the emergency service number 999.
"The child's head was
initially missing but was later discovered inside a bucket in the house,"
he said.
The inspector added that Sohel
allegedly took the child to his flat when the opportunity arose. Investigators
are verifying whether she was raped before being killed.
He further added that an inquest
report has not yet been prepared. Police are working on the matter, and further
details will be provided later.
