Police get four days to grill suspects in lynching of woman in city's Badda

A Dhaka court has granted police four days to question three people who are the key suspects in the lynching of a woman in city's Badda, reports bdnews24.com.

The Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court passed the order on Monday.

The suspects-Bachhu Mia, 28, Bappy, 21, and Shaheen, 31, -- were remanded. And another suspect Zafar gave a confessional statement to the court, according to Rafiqul Islam, chief of Badda Police Station.

Police detained them on Sunday night on suspicion that they were part of the mob that lynched 42-year old Taslima Begum Renu. Police also identified one 'Hridoy' as the key suspect and launched a manhunt for him.

Renu, the mother of two from Mohakhali in the capital, is among three people beaten and killed by separate mobs in Bangladesh on Saturday.

Guardians took her to the headmaster's room of a government primary school for questioning on suspicion that she was an abductor when she had gone to the school at North Badda.
