Boy stabbed to death in city

The victim, 14-year-old Mohammad Jony, was a class VII student of Postogola Cotton Mills High School.

Following information from an unknown person, police recovered Jony's body yesterday morning and sent it to Mitford Hospital morgue for autopsy. Hospital sources said the body bore marks of stabs and bruises.

Sajuddin Saju, maternal uncle of Jony, told reporters at the hospital that four friends of Jony-- Sohel, Billal, Jummon and Emy -- called him out of their Kalimullahbagh house at around 7:30pm on Tuesday.

"While going out Jony told his mother that they would go to a marriage ceremony in the locality and would not be back home at night," Saju said.

Jony's mother Saleha Begum filed a case with Shyampur Police Station yesterday accusing seven youths of murdering her son.

Police said they arrested Banga Rajib, an accused in the FIR, yesterday but could not find any lead to the murder as of 8:00 last night.
