Two teens confess killing woman
Two teenage boys confessed before a Dhaka court on Friday to killing a woman by slitting her throat in the capital's Pallabi on December 8.
Police arrested Abdul Wadud, and his friend Arman Mollah on Thursday.
The victim was Tahura Bibi, 42.
In his confessional statements, Wadud said they planned to extract money from the house of one of their acquaintances Tahura, whose husband is an expatriate in Saudi Arabia.
"The boys came to the flat around 2:30pm when she was home alone. They spent few hours there, chatted with the lady and had food. At one stage, they killed her," said Shah Iftekhar Ahmed, assistant commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police, quoting their confessional statements.
Later, they fled the scene. When Isra, Tahura's adopted daughter and a class VI student, came home she found the door locked. Police broke the door around 9:00pm, he added.
Wadud told the police that they only took Tk 2,000 from the house.
