Two men allegedly killed a Hindu family of four in Bangladesh and then reportedly spent the night inside their home, eating dates, taking a bath and consuming yaba – a potent pyschoactive substance – before leaving the next morning, police said.
Police detained the two men from Dakhiganj cremation ground in Rangpur city. Both are residents of Machuapara, where the killings took place. Priyam’s body was later found under a bed inside the house. Rather than fleeing immediately, the suspects allegedly stayed inside the house throughout Thursday night.
Police and Fire Service personnel arrived at around 10:45pm after being alerted and broke open the door.
The couple’s daughter Prarthi and son Priyam were also killed during the incident, police said. Police said they showered in the bathroom, ate dates from the dining table and continued consuming yaba after killing the family. Police said the family had no known disputes or enmity with anyone.
Concerned relatives went to the house on Saturday night and found the main gate locked.
The killings took place on Thursday night in Machuapara, Kamal Kachna area of Rangpur city, but the bodies were recovered late Saturday night from the family’s locked home.
