Dhaka, June 3 (UNB) – Recruiting agency owner Sayeeduz Zaman Bachchu who confessed to killing a teenage girl in the city’s Hatirpool area was taken on a four-day remand on Sunday.

Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Rezaul Karim passed the order after Detective Branch of police produced him before his court seeking a 10-day remand for questioning him.

Police recovered the body of a teenage girl sliced into 26 pieces from a multi-storey commercial building in the city’s Hatirpool area on Saturday.

Local people first found a leg of the female body at a narrow passage outside ‘Nahar Plaza’ and informed Shahbagh police.

Police reached the spot around 11:30 am and conducted simultaneous searches inside the building and its surrounding areas to recover the remaining parts of the remaining body up to 1:30 pm.

Detectives picked up six people, including Bachchu, on Saturday following the recovery of the dismembered body of Rumi, 15, daughter of Saddam Fakir of Gazipur Kazipara village in Alfadanga upazila of Faridpur district.

During interrogation, Bachchu, 28, owner of Sonali Travels located on the 13th floor of the commercial building, told police that he got introduced with Rumi over mobile phone two and a half years back.

He brought the girl to his office from Mirpur-10 at about 6 pm on Friday and had sex with her there.

Later, he strangulated Rumi to death at night thinking that he would be in trouble if outsiders come to know about her presence in his office, a police officer quoted Bachchu as saying.

Later, Bachchu sliced the body into at least 26 pieces, detached flesh from the bones and threw those in different areas.
