Minor's body found inside sack in Shariatpur
Police recovered the body of a three-and-a-half-year-old boy from a ditch after it was found wrapped inside a sack in Damudya upazila of Shariatpur on Saturday, nearly six hours after he went missing.
The victim, Sowaif Hossain, was the son of a local resident of the Poschim Adasan area of Shidul Kura Union.
Police detained a man identified as Rasel Shikdar in connection with the murder.
Citing family members, police said Sowaif went missing around 7:00am while playing outside his house. After failing to trace him, the family informed police.
Police and Fire Service personnel carried out a search operation and recovered the child's body around 1:00pm.
Relatives alleged that a dispute had broken out between their family and the family of their neighbour, Ali Akbar Shikdar, over a trivial matter the previous day, claiming that the child was killed as a result of the dispute.
Additional Superintendent of Police (Damudya Circle) Arifin said police have launched an investigation into the incident and are conducting drives to identify and apprehend all individuals involved in the crime, reports UNB.
