Youth killed in merciless stabbing in Dhaka's Vatara at night
Dead body
Dhaka, May 14 – A 22-year-old youth was subjected to a "swift, bloody and merciless" knife attack in Dhaka's Vatara Saturday night, police said.
Md Shanto, a mason, suffered serious wounds after being repeatedly stabbed by around seven locals – including Ramjan, Lalon, Emon – at 9pm, the deceased's friend Nurul Islam said.
"It was not possible to say who delivered the fatal blows. However, all of them shared a common intention: that Shanto should die, or suffer very serious injuries," he added.
Shanto's friends took him to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) where he was declared dead at 10:30pm, Inspector Bachchu Mia, in-charge of DMCH Police Outpost, said.
The body was sent to the hospital morgue for post-mortem examination, he added. - UNB
