Published: Saturday, August 24, 2013 COP, WIFE MURDER Oishee gives confessional statement Rony remanded again Star Online Report This Star file photo shows Oishee, Sumi and Rony — arrested in connection with the killing of police inspector Mahfuzur Rahman and Swapna Rahman — are being taken to the court. Faces of the two girls have been blurred as they are minors. Oishee Rahman, daughter of slain Special Branch (SB) Inspector Mahfuzur Rahman and his wife Swapna Rahman, gave confessional statement under the section 164 before a Dhaka court on Saturday. On August 16, the bodies of the SB inspector and his wife were found in their Chamelibagh residence in the capital. Seventeen-year-old Oishee, the prime suspect of the murder case, and two other suspects — Mizanur Rahman Rony, a friend of Oishee, and Khadiza Khatun Sumi, domestic help of the murdered couple, were produced before a Dhaka court after completion of their five-day remand on Saturday. Anwar Sadat, judge of Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate, recorded the statement of Oishee for nearly three hours starting from 12:30pm. The details of her statement could not be known immediately. Meanwhile, Sumi is giving confessional statement before the court which continues till filing the report around 4:00pm. In a development, another court placed Rony on a fresh five-day remand as Jewel Rana, assistant commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) and also the investigation officer of the case, sought a 10-day remand for further investigation of the case. Asaduzzaman Nur, a metropolitan magistrate, granted the remand to Rony. Oishee turned herself into Paltan police on August 17, a day after the disclosure of the gruesome murder. Police arrested Rony and Sumi on the same day. On August 18, a Dhaka court granted five-day remand for Oishee, Rony and Sumi in connection with the killing. As the Children Act 2013 suggests that anyone below the age of 18 will be considered as minor and cannot be taken on remand for interrogation, Oishee and Sumi had to undergo medical test to determine age. Meanwhile, Oishee’s lawyer filed a petition with the Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) court under the Rights to Information Act, seeking directives on police to stop giving out any kind of information about Oishee to the media.
