Police launch murder investigation into Dr Sabira's death

The police have launched a murder investigation into the death of a doctor at her home in Dhaka's Kalabagan under mysterious circumstances, reports bdnews24.com.

Rezaul Hasan Jewel, a cousin of radiologist Sabira Rahman Lipi, 41, started a murder case at Kalabagan Police Station against unidentified people on Tuesday night after her body was found on Monday.

Sabira had wounds from sharp weapons and burns on her body. The bedding was also partially burnt.

She stayed in the room of the rented flat alone after separation with her second husband, a banker. Her first husband, who was also a doctor, died after an accident nearly two decades ago.

She has two children and both of them live with her mother at another house in the same neighbourhood.

Sabira, who worked at Green Life Medical College Hospital, rented two rooms of the flat out to two other women. One has not returned after recent Eid holidays, said police.
