A mentally ill father killed his girl child at Khesba village in Nachole upazila yesterday. Police, however, arrested Monirul Islam, 24, son of Erfan Ali, for killing his one and a half years old daughter Suraya. Locals said, Monirul beat up her girl child with a bamboo stick in the morning. They rescued seriously injured Suraya and sent her to Chapainawabganj Sadar Hospital but doctors could not save her life. Golam Kibria, sub-inspector of Nachole police station said, as the victim's grandfather Erfan Ali lodged a murder case, police arrested Monirul.
