Asadul confesses to killing father
Three days into the killing, Asadul Karim, 35, yesterday confessed before a Dhaka court that he stabbed his father to death after being refused the money he wanted to go abroad for job.
Metropolitan Magistrate MM Zulfikar Hayat recorded the confessional statement when Asadul was produced before the court.
Police said he murdered his father MA Karim, 76, with a pair of scissors at their Mohammadpur residence on Sunday.
Day after the killing, Asadul was produced before the same court, but he gave contradictory statements and was sent to jail.
According to family sources, Asadul became mentally unsound following his return from Saudi Arabia four months ago after working there for eight years.
As he has been growing violent over demand for money in the last two weeks, family members decided to admit him to a mental hospital.
