| 2008-11-23 | ||
Three suspected robbers were beaten to death by a mob at Baligaon village in Kaliganj upazila of Gazipur Friday night.
Locals said a gang of 8-10 robbers entered the house of Harmuz Ali at about 11:00pm and tried to loot valuables. Hearing cries of the family members for help, local people went there and caught four bandits. The angry people then beat up the robbers, killing three on the spot and injuring another robber, Hasan, 28. Meanwhile, Kaliganj police arrested four alleged robbers -- Sarwar, 25, Rana, 26, Habib, 28, and Sohel, 28, -- and conducted drives in Uttara, Tongi and Gazipur areas to catch other gang members. Villagers also ransacked and set on fire the house of suspected gang leader Selim in the locality early yesterday. Selim went into hiding soon after the incident. Abdul Baten, superintendent of police of Gazipur, told The Daily Star that the robbers could not take away anything from the house and they are the members of an organised gang. | ||

| #6 "Villagers also ransacked and set on fire the house of suspected gang leader Selim in the locality early yesterday." Thorough, aren't they? "Selim went into hiding soon after the incident." A crook, obviously, but not a fool. |

| #5 Reminds me of a favorite Wizard of Id cartoon: King to condemned prisoner: "Do you have any final words?" Prisoner: "The death penalty is not a deterrent!" King: "I'll believe that when I see you again." |

| #4 The recidivism rate after such punishment is delightfully low. |
