One killed during robbery in city

Robbers looted gold, cash and other valuables after strangulating a young woman to death in the city's North  Jatrabari area on Friday night. The deceased was identified as Syeda Sajedun Nahar (35), daughter of SM Kamruzzaman, a resident of Jatrabari. Police said two of the bandits rented a flat on the ground floor of a 3-storey building introducing themselves as students two days ago. At about 9:30 pm on Friday they knocked on the door of the flat of Kamruzzaman, owner of the building saying that they needed a chair to fit a fan. When the door was opened, the two tenants along with 5-6 others entered the flat and held the inmates hostage at gunpoint.  As Sajedun tried to resist the bandits, they strangled her.
