NoakhaliAnother one suspect in the Noakhali’s Subarnachar rape incident has given confessional statements before a court.

“Cognisance Court-2 Judge Nobonita Guha recorded the confessional statement of Murad under section 164 on Monday (Jan 14),” said Detective Branch OC Zakir Hossain.

25-year-old Murad was arrested from a brick kiln at Chatarpaiya in Noakhali’s Senbagh Upazila on Jan 6.

So far eight suspects have confessed over the incident.

On Dec 31, a 30-year-old mother of four was gang-raped, allegedly by a group of local Awami League members.

The victim’s husband filed a case against nine people with the Charjabbar police station on Dec 31.

He said that the accused threatened his wife after they saw she voted for ‘paddy sheaf’ in the 11th Parliamentary Election held on Dec 30.

A group of people knocked at our door saying they were the police and barged in after 12 am,” he said.

“They tied me and my children up and took my wife outside where they raped her and beat her up indiscriminately,” he added.

He said that the 15-16 men involved were about to murder his wife when she recognised them, but left her on the yard after she pleaded for her life.

The husband alleged that while she was being taken to the Noakhali General Hospital for treatment, local thug and Awami League’s district unit publicity secretary, Ruhul Amin’s men threatened their entire family if they divulged the attack to the media.
