Parvez Mosharraf, a student of ninth grade, appeared before reporters at the office of Bangladesh Crime Reporters Association on Friday.

Police recovered the body of his mother Shahana Akhtar from their home in Mokki Mosjid Goli of West Rampura on Jul 30.

The homemaker was suffocated to death by her husband Monir Hossain and his mother Akhtar Banu, her family claim.

The two have been accused in the case Shahana's brother Saifuddin Titu filed at the Rampura Police Station on the night following her death.

"Ever since I was a child, I have noticed how my father would beat my mother. He used to throw me and my sister Sumaiya out of the house and use drugs," said Parvez.

The teenager said he was in his maternal grandparents' house in Feni when he heard about his mother's death.

 "My father has murdered my mother with the help of his mother. I want the mother's killers to be arrested so that she gets justice."

Shahana's father Abdur Rob and brother Gias Uddin were also present in the briefing.
