Day labourer found dead

Police yesterday morning recovered the body of a young day labourer from the roof of a tin-shed house in Mehedibagh area of Pallabi.

The deceased, Saidul Islam, 18, used to live at his aunt Parveen Akhter's rented house, from where the body was recovered, and worked in a furniture shop.

The body was sent to Dhaka Medical College morgue for an autopsy and later was taken to his village home at Chirir Bandar in Dinajpur district.

Dadan Fakir, officer-in-charge (OC) of Pallabi police, told The Daily Star that an unnatural death case has been filed.

The OC suspected that when Saidul returned home at night and found the gate closed, he tried to enter by scaling the tin-roof and came in contact with an electric wire and was electrocuted.

During autopsy it was found that there were marks of electric shocks on his feet and left hand, said morgue sources.
