Minor boy 'killed'
A three-year-old boy was killed allegedly by his neighbours at Bhatara in the capital yesterday.
The deceased was Mohammad Jisan, son of labourer Helal Uddin of the city's Solmait.
Locals found his body in a local ditch around 8:00am.
Jisan's mother Jesmin Begum said her son was playing in front of their house around 2:00pm on Thursday, ever since which he has been missing.
She alleged that a couple, living next door to her, killed her son. She had a feud with them last Tuesday and they threatened to take revenge, she said.
Police picked up the couple, Dristi Begum and Osman Gani, for questioning, but the duo denied their involvement.
Police sent the body to Dhaka Medical College morgue for autopsy. Morgue sources said the kid was drowned.
