Chinese man murder in Bangladesh: Two security guards ‘confess’ to killing businessman for 'money'
Dhaka/IBNS: Two men, who were arrested in connection with the murder of a Chinese man in Bangladesh capital Dhaka, have confessed their crimes and
gave statements in court “confessing” to killing him “for money”.
Abdur Rauf, 26, and Enamul Haque, 27, said in the statements on Monday that they had strangled Gaoxian Hui and buried him in an empty place of the building after snatching away his handbag full of money, reported bdnews24 news portal.
The two were arrested on Dec 17.
Officials at the Dhaka Metropolitan Police’s Prosecution Division, citing Rauf and Enamul’s statements, said the two security guards of the building No. 82 on road No. 23 in the neighbourhood had seen many times that Hui carried a lot of money in his handbag as he paid his chauffeur and others in cash, reported bdnews24.
The duo said they had targeted Hui for the money because it was difficult for them to run their families with monthly salary of Tk 6,200, according to the officials, who requested anonymity as they were not authorised to talk to the media, as reported by the news portal.
The Chinese man was involved in stone business and invested in several projects in Bangladesh. The projects include the Padma Bridge and Payra port.
