Kunio murder suspect Hira remanded in another case

A Rangpur court on Monday placed Humayun Kabir Hira, one of the suspects in Japanese national Kunio Hoshi murder case, on a ten-day remand in another killing case.

Meanwhile, Senior Judicial Magistrate Md Abu Taleb sent local BNP leader Rashed-un-Nabi Khan Biplob to jail, rejecting his bail prayer in connection with Hoshi Kunio murder case, said court sources.

Earlier on October 6, Hira and Biplob were remanded for 10 days in the same case.

Motorbike-riding gunmen killed Kunio, 66, near his agriculture project at Alutari village in Rangpur's Kaunia on October 3, just five days into Italian national Tavella's murder.
