Blindfolded bodies of the four, hands and legs tied, were found in a first-floor apartment of a six-storey building at Kadampur in South Keraniganj.

Questioning of the house caretaker, 'Sohel', and one 'Akkas', who helped Ahmed rent the apartment, exposed those involved with the murders.

The latest arrests take the number of those nabbed for the multiple murders to eleven.

On Sept 26, police detained seven, including three women, over the killings after raids at Gazipur, Munshiganj and Keraniganj.

They are Rani Begum, Mukta Begum, Shahida Begum, Abdul Majid, 'Rafik', 'Sumon' and 'Jony'.
