Barisal Gruesome Murders

Shahjahan confesses to his involvement

Our Correspondent, Barisal
Shahjahan Siraj Bairagi, brother of Tanjila Begum who along with her four daughters was slaughtered on Monday night, has confessed that the murder plan was worked out to trap his rival group over a land dispute.
“The plan, which was chalked out three days before the incident, was designed to kill one, but the hired goons killed five members incidentally," said Shahjahan, also a former police officer, in presence of high officials, relatives and locals yesterday.
On Monday night, some unknown assailants killed Tanjila and her four daughters Anjuman Ara, Sathi, Jannatul and Ferdousi by slitting their throats.
The gruesome murder took place at Khalisha village under Bhashanchar union of Mehendiganj upazila in Barisal.
Tanjila's one and a half year-old daughter Sagarika however was unharmed.
Barisal Police Super Tawfiq Mahbub Chowdhury said the deputy inspector general of police of Barisal range, police commissioner and other officials visited the spot yesterday and talked to the local residents about the murder.
Tanjila's two brothers Shahjahan Siraj Bairagi and Shahidul Islam Bairagi, arrested on
suspicion of being involved in the murder, were also taken to the spot.
In presence of everyone, Shahjahan said he could not subdue his rivals, rather, they became more arrogant after police had arrested three of the rival group.
To implicate them in a case, Shahjahan said, he chalked out the plan at Barisal Sher-e-Bangla Medical College and Hospital where he along with his neighbour Sultan Kha and his son Samir went to see one of their patients.
According to the plan Tanjila's eldest daughter Anjuman Ara, who was a mentally challenged girl, was supposed to be killed alone, he said, adding that he could not understand how the five were killed.
Shahidul also admitted that he had a discussion with his brother regarding the murder and forbade him, but he did not pay any heed to him, said the police.
Jahangir Hossain, a night guard (chokidar), filed a murder case with Mehendiganj Police Station.
Meanwhile, police wanted to talk to Tanjila's husband Jahangir Hossain, who arrived here on Tuesday evening from Dhaka, but could not as he was quite upset both physically and mentally.
The five bodies were not taken back to the village after being postmortemed in the hospital as of yesterday afternoon.
