According to United News of Bangladesh, the IO reported that Sohel provided details of how he raped and killed the child. The victim, Ramisa Akter, daughter of Abdul Hannan Molla, was a second-grade student of Popular Model High School. She lived with her family in Section-11, Block-B of Pallabi, while Sohel and his wife lived in a neighbouring flat as subtenants.
The case details reveal that the suspect reportedly lured Ramisa into his room when she left her flat around 9:30 am on Tuesday. The crime came to light around 10:30 am when Ramisa’s mother went looking for her as it was time for school. She reportedly noticed her daughter’s sandals left outside the suspect’s door. After receiving no response to repeated knocking, the mother, with the help of other building residents, broke open the door. Inside, they discovered Ramisa’s decapitated body beneath the bed while her severed head was found hidden inside a bucket in the bathroom. The suspect’s wife Swapna was in the flat.
While Swapna was detained from the scene by neighbours and subsequently handed over to police, Sohel managed to escape by cutting through a window grille. He was tracked down and arrested by police later Tuesday evening in Fatullah in Narayanganj.
