Another accused in Shahinuddin murder case was killed in a gunfight with detectives in the capital s Pallabi area early yesterday.
The deceased, Monir, 21, took part in the killing of Shahinuddin on May 16 in front of his son in Pallabi, police said.
The man was injured in the gunfight around 2:30am inside Sagufta Housing area. On information, a police team took him to Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital where doctors declared him dead, said Aklima Akter, a sub-inspector of Pallabi Police Station.
A text sent by Dhaka Metropolitan Police s media wing said a team of detectives arrested Monir near Pallabi Eidgah Maidan around 9:00pm on Saturday.
Thirty-year-old Aklima Akter of Mirpur s Duaripara slum shares her tiny and slippery hanging latrine with over 80 people in her neighbourhood.
The latrine is made out of tin and installed above a waterbody. It allows feces to fall through a pipe and contaminate the water. In absence of running water and hand-washing facilities, Aklima and her neighbours depend on one wash jug (bodna) of water to clean themselves after defecation.
During menstruation, it becomes more challenging for the poorest of the poor like Aklima to wash unsanitary rags inside the tiny space with such a small amount of water.
If she goes out to collect another wash jug of water, she hears taunting words from the male neighbours.
