A five-year-old girl was killed after she went to bathe in a pond at Gazipur.
Police recovered the body of Tafannum Tahi, a nursery student, on Sunday (Jan 27) night.
“We are primarily suspecting that she was raped by a stranger and then hit her on the head with a brick,” said Gazipur Metropolitan Police (GMP) Sub-Inspector Kabir Uddin.
He added that they have not yet been able to arrest anyone over the matter.
According to locals and police Tafannum went for a shower at her grandfather’s house to take a shower at his pond on Sunday at 11 am.
Her family started looking for her when she failed to return by afternoon. Her body was later found in the bushes far from her house.
