A JUMMA villager named
Manendra Tripura was found dead in Gorukata of Ramgrah Upazila in Khagrachari
district.
The 66-year-old’s
mutilated body – with the head, a hand and a leg severed – was found in the
jungle near his home at about 8 am on Friday, April 29.
The police from Ramgarh
Thana recovered his decomposed body after the local people informed them of the
incident.
According to local
villagers, Manendra, son of Karmadhan Tripura, had moved to Gorukata area from
Taracharan-para village under the same Union two years ago.
He lived in his home
alone.
The villagers told chtnews.com that
they had seen patches of blood on the floor of the house.
‘I guess he was dragged
about 100 yards into the jungle after being killed inside the house’, one of
the villagers said.
He added that there
lived four Bengali settler families, who had come from Satkhira district in the
plain land, near Manendra’s house and that all of their houses were found
locked from outside, which meant that they had left their homes after the
alleged murder.
These four settler
families of Md. Majid (50), Md. Ebaidul (52), Md. Din Ali (50) and Md. Dali
(65) have been living there after grabbing lands from the Jumma villagers.
The murder might be the
result of a land dispute, the local villagers said.
