Double Murder
Human chain formed for justice
Teachers and students of Prafulla Patro Primary School yesterday formed a human chain in front of Sylhet Central Shaheed Minar demanding solving the murders of six-year-old girl and her grandmother who were killed last Saturday.
They also held a condolence meeting in the school for the deceased Sadia who was a student of the school.
Contacted, Rab-9 Special Commander Squadron Leader Fazle Shahin Haque said they picked up two persons -- satellite cable repairmen Tarek and Faruque of Doloipara area in Sylhet -- in this connection on Sunday night.
He said Sadia's neighbours saw Tareq coming out of her house around 2:30pm on the day. Tareq could not justify his reasons for being there.
