Indictment hearing against rape-murder accused Dihan Feb 11

A court here on Tuesday set February 11 for holding hearing on charge framing against Tanvir Iftekhar Dihan, an accused in a case filled for raping and subsequently murdering a schoolgirl in the capital's Kalabagan area, reports BSS.

Tuesday was set for framing the charges against the accused.

But since Inspector AFM Asaduzzaman of Kalabagan thana could not submit the report and pleaded for time, Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Begum Yasmin Ara set the new date, granting application for time, DMP Sub-Inspector Swapan Kumar told the news agency.

Earlier on January 8, Dihan pleaded guilty in the court of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mamunur Rashid and gave a voluntary confessional statement over the rape-murder incident.
