An angry mob completely demolished the two-story house of the primary suspect and began excavating soil from the plot to turn it into a pond following the rape and murder of a 10-year-old girl in Kulonia village under Dogachi union of Pabna.
The destruction of the home belonging to accused Mostafa Kamal began after Friday (September 18) prayers and continued through Saturday (October 24). Locals and workers involved in the demolition stated that they intend to erase all physical trace of the suspect's residence as a public warning against such crimes.
Meanwhile, the victim's family expressed frustration over procedural delays, urging authorities to submit the formal charge-sheet without further delay. The victim's grandfather, Abdus Sobhan, criticized police for failing to complete the investigation expeditiously.
Addressing the delay, Pabna District Intelligence Police (DB) Officer-in-Charge (OC) Abdus Salam stated that forensic reports have arrived at the hospital and police will submit the charge-sheet to court shortly.
Kamrunnahar Koli, a third-grade student, went missing on September 9. Her severed body was recovered from a sack in a nearby ditch seven days later on September 16.
Police subsequently arrested Mostafa Kamal and his tenant Yasin Ali. According to police, Mostafa confessed during remand to raping and suffocating the child inside a room behind his shop before disposing of the body. Forensic evidence has been submitted for evaluation to finalize the court report.
