A post-mortem report on Saturday showed that Special Branch (SB) Inspector Mahfuzur Rahman and his wife Swapna Begum were stabbed to death by amateur killers.
Dhaka Medical College and Hospital (DMCH) Forensic department’s Assistant Professor Sohel Mahmud, who conducted the autopsy in the morning, said more than one person were involved in the couple’s killing.
There were two stab wounds on Mahfuz’s body while his wife’s body had 11 marks.
Police on Friday evening recovered the couple’s blood-stained bodies from their Chamelibagh residence in Dhaka.
However, Mahfuz’s brother Monsur Rahman lodged a case at Motijheel Police Station on Saturday morning accusing unnamed persons.
However, forensic expert Sohel Mahmud on Saturday told bdnews24.com: “Mahfuz was stabbed in his throat and he died after his windpipe was severed.”
“Swapna Begum’s throat bore two stab wounds, three in right side of her ribcage, one in the chest and the rest in her belly and back. Her liver and kidney were injured and her windpipe was also severed.”
Mahmud specificied that these were ‘all stab wounds.’
Police had seized a kitchen knife and another knife from their house after their bodies were found.
Mahmud said that the killing was done by ‘at least two or more people’. “But the way they were stabbed, leads us to believe that the killers were amateurs.”
SB Deputy Inspector General Mosharraf Hossain Bhuiyan on Friday had suspected hate behind the ‘planned murder’ which was committed by ‘at least four persons’.
DMCH forensic department assistant professor Sohel Mahmud said a double edged knife was used to kill the couple.
Different parts of their bodies were also collected for the visceral tests, he said.
Police on Friday had found the couple’s dead bodies from their flat on the fourth floor of the building at Chamelibagh. The flat was locked from outside.
The couple lived there with two children and an under aged housemaid. The daughter, ‘Oishee’ is studying O-Level in an English medium school and the son, ‘Oihee’ is only 7-year old.
Police found the daughter’s behaviour suspicious. Oishee on Thursday morning had told her brother that their parents were angry and had left the house. Then she went out with Oihee and the maid to visit her uncle.
Later, Oihee was sent back in a rickshaw to a relative’s house on Friday morning. But police are yet to know the whereabouts of Oishi.
