Teenage girl's body found in sack
Police recovered the body of a teenage girl tied up inside a plastic sack yesterday morning, some 14 hours after she went missing on her way home from her sister's house in the capital's Mirpur-13.
There were marks of injury on the head and face of the victim, Popy Akhter, 15, presumably hit with a blunt object, said Dhaka Medical College morgue sources, adding that the head injury led to the death.
Locals first saw the sack lying near a drain in Block C of Mirpur-10 around 8:00am and informed police.
Popy's brother-in-law, Alamgir Hossain, said Popy came on a visit to his house on Saturday and left at around 6:30pm for her house at Puratan Kachukhet, some one and a half kilometres away.
Popy, studying in class six at Kachukhet Lala Sarai High School, had stopped going to school some three months ago due to a lack of interest, he said, adding that they knew of no one who might have had a grudge against her.
Officer-in-Charge Kazi Wazed Ali of Mirpur Police Station said a murder case was filed in this connection.
