Beheaded child's body found in 3 pieces in Gazipur jungle

STAFF CORRESPONDENT
Police yesterday recovered the body in three pieces of the beheaded child from a jungle in Gazipur, a day after finding his severed head at Shahjahanpurin the capital.
Following the statement of Shankar Kumar Debnath, who introduced himself as Anwar Hossain on Saturday after being caught with the severed head, a team of Motijheel police recovered the body from Shalban (shal forest) of Bhawal area under Gazipur district at dawn yesterday.
Earlier Shankar confessed to strangling the boy and cutting off his head.

The body of the boy, aged around 10, had hardly any flesh and bore bite marks from foxes and dogs, said the police inquest report, adding that the legs were detached from the body.
Police yesterday sent the body to Gazipur General Hospital for an autopsy, while the autopsy of the severed head was made yesterday at Dhaka Medical College and Hospital.
Meanwhile, no one turned up in any of the hospitals to identify the ill-fated child as of last evening.
Shankar, son of Profulla Kumar Debnath of Laxmipur, lured the child, a street urchin, by promising to take him for a visit at the Bangabandhu Stadium area in the capital Friday night.
Shankar, along with three men Jakir, Harun and an unknown other -- boarded a train Saturday morning from the Kamalapur Railway Station and got off at Joydebpur Railway Junction, said the police, quoting the arrestee.
"We walked along the railway lines about five kilometres and entered inside the Shalban," Shankar confessed, "I strangled him there and cut his head from the
throat with a hacksaw-blade."
Later, Shankar and his three accomplices returned to Dhaka with the head, leaving the body there. They did not admit cutting off the legs of the body.
Locals caught Shankar on Saturday evening, when he was suspiciously walking along the railway track with a gunny bag containing the head of the boy, and handed him over to police.
Shankar told police on Saturday night that he needed money to make a hawai jahaj (aircraft) that will fly without any liquid fuel and was tempted to slaughter the boy after one Matin of Sadarghat promised to give him Tk 50,000 for the head of a boy.
Yesterday he contradicted his earlier statement by saying that they killed the child to 'blackmail' a man of Mukta Tailors in Paltan.
Shankar, however, did not give any details of the three men who accompanied him during the incident and their whereabouts.
Shankar, now an addict, once worked as an employee in a tailoring shop in Narinda and claimed to have obtained a Secondary School Certificate in science.
