| [Bangla Daily Star] Angry villagers beat three suspected robbers to death at Kaibartapara in Boalkhali upazila early yesterday. Police said villagers caught three unidentified robbers, chasing a gang of six, around 2:30am when they attempted to enter the village allegedly to commit a robbery. Sources said the gang arrived close to the densely populated village, parking their CNG-run three-wheeler and proceeded to enter the village on foot. A few village guards on duty spotted the lurking figures and called out to them loudly, causing the gang to turn around and run. The hue and cry brought more villagers who chased the gang and captured the three while the rest managed to flee firing shots in the air. The villagers beat up the trio in a frenzy leaving them dead on the spot. The unidentified robbers were in their twenties. Police recovered the bodies and the weapons were found in their possession. Abdul Malek, officer-in-charge of Boalkhali Police Station, said a murder case has been filed accusing 300 to 400 villagers in this connection. The three bodies were sent to Chittagong Medical College Hospital for autopsy, Malek said. |
