4 muggers beaten to death
2009-09-28
[Bangla Daily Star] Four alleged muggers were killed in separate incidents of mob beatings in the capital and Magura yesterday.
There's times I'm not sure they even need the Rab...
Muggers don't meet at brickyards and other proletarian places in the small hours of the morning to plot nefarious deeds, so they are easier to catch. Mobs always go for the low hanging fruit. That's a well-known law of nature
.Of the four, one was identified as Rubel, 25, of Palashpur at Kadamtali in the capital while the rest in Magura could not be identified as of 5:00pm.

Kadamtali police said Rubel and his two accomplices intercepted a pick-up van in the area and tried to snatch money from its driver. When the victim started screaming, locals surrounded them and caught Rubel.

The mugger died on the spot after a severe mass beating at around 1:30pm, police said adding, two other snatchers managed to escape.

Rubel and his gang had been involved in crime in the area for long, said police.

Our Magura correspondent adds: Three snatchers were beaten to death by agitating locals on Magura-Jessore highway in Magura district headquarters.

Police said two youths hired a ride by motorbike of Wazed Ali at Khajura bazar in Jessore sadar upazila at around 8:00pm yesterday for a ride to Magura.

When the motorcycle reached Gaidghat area on the highway, the muggers snatched Tk 7 thousand from Wazed and escaped the scene leaving him on the highway.

The hijacker s also picked up one of their accomplices on their way to Magura.

Wazed instantly informed one of his relatives at Jagla area in Magura sadar upazila of the incident over cell phone.

The relative along with some other villagers at Jagla intercepted the motorcycle near Jagla high school area on the same highway and beat up the snatchers to death at around 11:30pm.

On information, police recovered the bodies and sent those to Magura sadar hospital morgue for autopsy.
