In a harrowing turn of events, police in Gazipur found four hanging bodies including one of a woman and a phycally challenged man in three separate incidents in the district on Saturday.
The deceased are diagnostic centre owner Rajat Kanti Chowdhury, his former employee Lima Rahman, 25, railway gateman Kayum Morol, 28, and Shawon, 22, the man with special needs, reports the Dhaka Tribune.
Rajat and Lima were found dead at a rented house in Gazipur’s Gacha union, said Gacha Police Station's Sub-Inspector (SI) Moniruzzaman.
Lima, who was working at a sweater factory, did not go to work since she went home on Thursday. On Saturday, her employers at the factory sent some of her co-workers to her house to check-up on her, the SI told Dhaka Tribune.
When they called her and she did not respond, they broke into the house and found two bodies hanging from the ceiling.
Police suspect Rajat, who was married and lived in Joydebpur with his family, was romantically involved with Lima. The circumstances around their deaths remain unexplained.
In Kaliganj, police were called in after Kayum Morol, 28, was found hanging from the ceiling on Saturday, confirmed Kaliganj Police Sub-Inspector (SI) Ramzan Ali.
Police said Kayum had been mentally unstable since the recent death of his child.
He had locked himself in his room in the evening and his family broke in when he did not respond at night. They informed the police when they saw the body.
Meanwhile, Shawon’s family found him hanging from the ceiling when they broke into his room on Saturday evening.
He had locked himself inside and did not respond when his family called multiple times.
They brought him down and took him to Ahsan Ullah Master General Hospital, where the duty doctors declared him dead.
