| 2014-10-22 |
| An 11-year-old boy studying at a South Keraniganj madrasa had his throat slit with a kitchen cleaver early Monday after resisting a rape attempt by a school staff member, his killer admitted to police yesterday. The self-confessed killer, Shah Alam, a 35-year-old cook at Tahfizul Quran Nurani Hafezi Madrasa, admitted to rape the same boy a month ago. âI donât know what came over me. I killed the boy with a boti in the madrasa kitchen,â Shah Alam, whose wife is nine months pregnant, said yesterday at the media and community centre of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP). Shah Alam said he had tried to get hold of Abu Rayhan around 1am when the child was on his way to the toilet. He attempted to rape Abu Rayhan, but the boy resisted and threatened to tell the authorities about what had happened. Shah Alam then dragged Abu Rayhan into the kitchen and slit his throat with a razor-sharp cleaver. Police recovered the body from the floor of the madrasa kitchen on Monday. Dhaka Police Superintendent Habibur Rahman said at a press briefing at the media and community centre of DMP: âWe detained Shah Alam and 10 other madrasa staff members on Monday morning. After the primary investigation, we found evidence of Shah Alamâs involvement in the killing. After his admission of guilt, we recovered the murder weapon, a boti, and blood-stained clothes from the madrasa kitchen.â Abu Rayhanâs brother is also a student at the madrasa. He could not be tracked down for a statement. The victimâs father, Md Murad Hossain, filed a case against the madrasa administration, Officer-in-Charge (OC) Jamaluddin Mir of South Keraniganj police station said. The victimâs body was handed over to his family after an autopsy was conducted at Sir Salimullah Medical College and Mitford Hospital, the OC said. |
