Robbers kill policeman
A village policeman was killed by robbers at village Mugidanga under Kalikapur union in Rajbari early Sunday. The police and locals said a gang of armed robbers entered the house of Abdur Razzak of the village at about 2:30am and looted around Tk 25,000 in cash and gold ornaments from the house.
Interesting that Abdur the village cop gets picked to be looted
The gang took Razzak to a nearby pond, severely beat him up and strangled him. Then they tied his body with a tree and fled.
Methinks there was something personal about this crime
The police recovered the body in the morning and sent it to hospital for post-mortem examination.
"Paging Doctor Quincy!"

A case was filed. The additional police superintendent visited the spot.

Ah hah, a clue!

#2  This seems like a new wrinkle. Unless they're all reporting scrapes and bruises.

"Dammit, if I told you once, I told you a hundred times! Lift with your legs, not your back when getting the body out of the car trunk!"
