In Feni, an accused named Saiful Islam confessed in court to killing Rina Akter, the wife of an expatriate, during a robbery attempt. The confession was recorded on Friday afternoon under Section 164 of the Criminal Procedure Code before Senior Judicial Magistrate Md Morshed Mahmud Khan. Saiful, aged 29, was arrested in Chattogram’s Nasirabad area on Thursday after fleeing the scene and turning off his phone following the murder.
According to the Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI), Saiful worked at the under-construction building owned by Rina’s husband, expatriate Mohammad Manik. In his statement, Saiful said he was under financial pressure after failing to repay an NGO loan. On May 12, when Rina visited the site, he tried to snatch her gold earrings, strangling her in the process and burying the body under sand inside the building. He later sold the earrings for Tk 15,500 and used the money to buy drugs.
Police said Saiful was sent to Feni District Jail after his confession. The investigation continues under PBI supervision.
