Staff Correspondent
Three people including the owner of a pet shop were murdered in the city's Tejgaon, Mirpur and Kotwali areas within an hour late Tuesday night.
Tejgaon police recovered the bullet-riddled body of Shahadat Hossain Hiru, 32, owner of petshop Nil Mayuri at Kataban Market, from Katpotti in Karwan Bazar in the early hours of yesterday.
Police quoting eyewitnesses said Shahadat, president of Kataban Pet Shop Owners' Association, was last seen getting into a car with three others in front of Star Hotel at Karwan Bazar. An hour
later, his killers threw his dead body in front of a garment shop at Katpotti.
"I saw a car stopping in front of Brother Garments at about 11:30pm and someone inside the car pushed the body out on the road," said a local timber trader.
Police sent the body to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) morgue where the body was identified by his relatives.
The motive for the murder could not be known. A case was filed with Tejgaon police yesterday.
In another incident around the same time, a group of armed men gunned down a car mechanic at Siddiqbazarin Kotwali.
The victim Mohammad Ali Badal, 28, worked at an automobile workshop at Mohakhali.
Sources said a gang of four sprayed Badal with bullets near the customs warehouse at Siddiqbazarat around 10:30pm as he was returning home from work.
An assistant sub-inspector of Kotwali Police Station rushed him to the DMCH where doctors declared him dead.
The victim's younger brother Yunus Hossain filed a case with Kotwali Police Station. He indicated in the first information report that the murder might be linked to his love affair with a girl.
In Mirpur, criminals hacked an unidentified man to death at South Peererbagh at about 9:45pm on Tuesday.
Police recovered the body of the 30-year-old from near a box culvert at South Peererbagh about an hour after the murder. The man was wearing a sky bluejacket and a trouser. The body bore numerous stab injuries.
A case was filed with Mirpur Police Station. Police are unsure about the motive forthe murder.
