Sohel Rana and his wife Swapna, accused in a case filed over rape and murder of eight-year-old Ramisa Akter at Pallabi in the capital were produced before a Dhaka court today (Sunday).
Prime accused Sohel Rana, 32, and his wife Swapna Akter were produced before the Metropolitan Sessions Judge's Court after 10:00am, said court sources.
Meanwhile, police are set to submit the charge-sheet before the court in the case today.
Ramisa Akter, daughter of Abdul Hannan Molla, was allegedly raped and murdered by Sohel Rana, tenant of a neighbouring flat, on Tuesday. According to the case details, the suspect reportedly lured her into his room and killed her after rape.
Later, Ramisa’s decapitated body was found beneath the bed while her severed head was found hidden inside a bucket in the bathroom.
While Swapna was detained from the scene by neighbours and subsequently handed over to police, Sohel Rana managed to escape by cutting through window grills.
He was tracked down and arrested by police later Tuesday evening in Fatullah in Narayanganj.
