Army man 'killed' wife's paramour
An army man yesterday confessed before a Rajshahi court that he had killed the man who was allegedly having an extra-marital affair with his wife.
Ziaur Rahman, 34, a lance corporal of Bangladesh Army, who made the confession, was arrested from Rangpur cantonment on Wednesday.
Court Inspector Nazrul Islam said Ziaur killed Abul Kalam Azad, 59, an assistant general manager (AGM) of Bangladesh Postal Department, at Baneswar in Puthia on June 15.
Ziaur told the court that he committed the killing being incensed at Azad's illicit relations with his wife, the inspector said.
Azad, a married man with three daughters, was having the relationship with the woman for about five years, while Ziaur married her only three months back, the arrestee said.
Ziaur said he stabbed Azad to death at his [Ziaur's] house, took the body to the nearby Narod river by an auto-rickshaw, and burnt it.
Abdur Razzak, a sub-inspector of Puthia Police Station, recovered body the next day and filed a case against some unknown persons in connection with the killing the same day.
Ziaur was produced before Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Emdadul Haque yesterday.
