Murder of suicide?

Autopsy report on a housewife in Chittagong’s Raozan has negated the confessional statement of her husband who is a suspect.

In the statement to a court, Abu Bakkar had admitted to having murdered Rima Akter, but the autopsy report said it was a case of suicide.

Body of Akter, 22, was found hanging at Bakkar’s house at Natunhat in Nawajishpur union on Sept 24.

Akter’s brother Touhidul Alam filed a murder case though Bakkar’s family said she had committed suicide.

Bakkar gave confessional statement at Chittagong’s Senior Judicial Magistrate SM Masud Parvez’s court on Sept 25 following his arrest.

But the autopsy report prepared by Chittagong Medical College Hospital’s forensic medicine department Medical Officer Mominur Rahman said Akter had taken her own life.

bdnews24.com obtained a copy of the report on Thursday.

Plaintiff’s lawyer Rezaul Karim Babar told bdnews24.com: “The accused himself admitted that he committed the murder. But the autopsy report called it suicide. It’s contradictory.”

He expects that the court will act on the report.

When asked, Mominur Rahman told bdnews24.com that he mentioned in the report whatever the autopsy had revealed.
