Throat-slit bodies of 2 children found in Brahmanbaria

Police have recovered throat-slit bodies of two children from a house in Brahmanbaria.

The bodies were found from under a bed at their house at Solimabad village under Bancharampur upazila, around 10:00pm on Monday.

The deceased were identified as Shipa Akhter, 14, and her brother Kamrul Hasan, 10, children of Kalam Miah, a Saudi returnee.

According to police and locals, after Kamrul went missing, his mother Hasina Akhter went to look for him, while leaving Shipa alone in the house. Their father was also out of the house at the time.

After she returned home, she was unable to find any of her children. After searching for both of them in the house, Hasina found Shipa and Kamrul's bodies under a bed.

Seeing both her children covered in blood, Hasina screamed and fainted. After learning about the matter, the locals went to the scene and called the police, who later recovered the bodies.

While speaking with journalists, Solimabad UP former chairman Rustam Alam said the incident seemed pre-planned. 

Nabinagar-Bancharampur circle Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP)Mokbul Hossain said they are investigating the matter and primarily suspect that close relatives of the deceased may be involved in the killings.
