| Punish Rajon's twisted murderers |
| 2015-07-14 |
| [Dhaka Tribune] We are shocked by the vicious murder of Sheikh Samiul Alam Rajon, the 13-year-old boy, who was tied to a pole and tortured to death by a group of men in Kumargon, Sylhet. It is difficult to imagine the anguish his family must be enduring as the nation learns of the 28 minute video of his barbaric torture which was filmed and uploaded by his killers. The video contains harrowing footage of the horrific beating and torture Rajon was subjected to by a group of five or six individuals, before he departed this vale of tears. Some comfort can be taken from the fact that the prime accused has been placed on a five-day remand by the Sylhet Metropolitan Magistrate. It is fortuitous that he was detained last week after being caught red-handed trying to dump Rajon's body. Now that a murder case has been formally filed, the police must ensure the immediate apprehension and arrest of all the accused's accomplices. The damning evidence that the tormentors have provided of themselves brutally laughing and jeering as they tortured their victim, can be used to quickly bring them to justice. Nothing can excuse or explain why they brazenly boasted about their sickening depravity. But everyone knows that no one should be allowed to get away with murder. Rajon's killers must be held to account and punished to the full extent of the law. |
