A team of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) on Friday visited the spot in Mainamati Cantonment area where the body of Comilla Victoria college student Sohagi Jahan Tonu was found.

The CID team led by investigation officer of the case and CID inspector Gazi Mohammad Ibrahim visited the murder site around 10:30am, reports UNB.

“We have been investigating how and in which condition the body of the girl was found. We have received necessary documents of the case, but we need more time to unearth the mystery. We haven’t got anything yet to make any comment over the progress of the case,” assistant police superintendent of CID Mojammel Haq told UNB.

However, another CID team will visit the area on Monday, he said.

Tonu murder case was shifted to the CID on Tuesday to expedite its probe.

Sohagi Jahan Tonu, 19, a second year history student of Comilla Victoria College and a member of Victoria College Theatre, went missing on March 20, hours after she had gone out of her house at Comilla Mainamati Cantonment for private tuition.

Later, Tonu’s father Yaar Hossain found his daughter lying senseless with severe injuries in her body in a bush adjacent to their house.

She was then whisked off to Combined Military Hospital where doctors declared her dead.
