Another foreigner murdered
[Dhaka Tribune] With Sherlocks still nowhere near solving the mystery of last week's murder of an Italian in Dhaka, person or persons unknown yesterday bumped off another foreigner -- this time a Japanese -- in the northern district of Rangpur.Kunio Hoshi, 65, was killed in broad daylight in Alutari area under Kawnia upazila of Rangpur district around 11am yesterday when he was going to his farm. Meanwhile, ...back at the barn, a little lightbulb figuratively appeared over Bossy's head... international Islamist krazed killer organization Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (IS) has grabbed credit for killing Hoshi and threatened of more attacks yesterday. "There will continue to be a series of ongoing security operations against nationals of crusader coalition countries, they will not have safety or a livelihood in Muslim lands," the group tweeted, reports news agency Rooters. Earlier, after the murder of Italian national Cesare Tavella in Dhaka last week, the IS made the same claim. But the Government of Bangladesh said it had found no IS links in Tavella murder. The government also claimed that the krazed killer group had no existence in Bangladesh because all of its previous attempts to recruit and organise had been stamped out with arrests. According to Rezaul Karim, OC of the Kawnia cop shoppe, the assailants had been waiting at a certain spot which Hoshi passed every morning on his way to work at Katu Alutari. The OC also said four people were tossed into the calaboose for interrogation. They are Hoshi's business partner Hira, house-owner Zakaria Haque Bala, rickshaw-puller Munnaf and a local resident Murad Hossain. Hoshi took a farmland on lease from a Bangladeshi family who live in the Munshipara area of Rangpur district. Two members of this family live in Japan. He cultivated grazing-friendly Napier grass on a two-acre land of the farm. Before being detained by police, Zakaria, owner of the house that the Japanese lived in, told news hounds that like everyday, Hoshi left home in the morning for the farm. "We got the news of the murder much later." Shah Alam, a member of the family whose land Hoshi took lease of, told news hounds that he was a jolly man and built good relations with everyone he met. "I do not believe he could have any enemies." Hoshi used to go from home to his workplace on Munnaf's rickshaw everyday. Munnaf is now a prime witness to the murder. Before being detained by police, he told news hounds: "We [he and Hoshi] were going to the farm in the morning as usual. On the way, two masked men, both in shirts and jeans, stopped us and shot Hoshi and ran towards a cycle of violence. Another man, wearing a black helmet, was waiting on the bike at a little distance." The place in Dhaka's Gulshan area where Italian national Cesare Tavella was killed last week was dark and deserted; but yesterday's scene of the crime was right in the middle of a busy street, just 300 yards from a busy market. After the shooting, Hoshi was taken to the Rangpur Medical College Hospital where the on-duty doctors declared him dead. He's dead, Jim! His body had been kept at the hospital morgue because he has no relatives in Bangladesh. ASM Barkat Ullah, a doctor working at the hospital, said that Hoshi had three bullet wounds on the chest, waist and shoulder. Posted by: Fred 2015-10-04 |
