The doctor who autopsied the body of Raima Islam Shimu says
the actress was strangled.
There was a clear mark on her neck, implying she was
strangled with a rope or something similar, said Dr Sohel Mahmud Biren, chief
of the forensic department at Sir Salimullah Medical College or Mitford
Hospital, on Tuesday, reports the media.
Some internal organs were collected for chemical analysis,
he added.
Police said the husband, Khandaker Sakhawat Alim Nobel,
killed Shimu over ‘marital strife’ and his friend SM Wai Farhad assisted in
hiding the body through dismemberment.
The two were taken into custody on Monday night and
extensively questioned.
The 40-year-old actress lived with her husband and two children
in Dhaka’s Green Road.
She left home on Sunday and never returned. Nobel filed a
general diary after she went missing at the Kalabagan Police Station on Monday.
A woman’s dismembered body was found in two sacks by the
side of the road near the Hazratpur Bridge in the Aliapur area of Keraniganj on
Monday afternoon.
The body was identified by Shimu’s elder brother Shahidul Islam Khokon at Dhaka’s Mitford Hospital that night.
“Shimu and Nobel were experiencing marital strife over a
range of family issues,” said Dhaka District Superintendent of Police Maruf
Hossain. “Shimu was killed over these arguments at some point between 7am and 8am
on Jan 16.”
Police suspect the murder occurred somewhere else before the
two dumped the mutilated body at the recovery location.
Khokon said he grew suspicious after she did not return home
on Sunday and her phone was turned off. The family then called everywhere,
including hospitals, police stations and the FDC to find her.
When he heard of the unidentified body found in Keraniganj
on Monday night, Khokon rushed to the police station and identified his
sister’s body.
He then filed a formal complaint with police against Nobel,
Farhad, their driver and three others.
Police then arrested Nobel and Farhad and seized the car.
Traces of blood were found in the car, Khokon said. A case is being prepared
over the incident.
Shimu made her film debut in Kazi Hayat’s ‘Bartaman’ in
1998. She starred in as many as 25 films with noted film directors including
Delwar Jahan Jhantu, Chashi Nazrul Islam, and Sharifuddin Khan Dipu.
She was an associate member of the Bangladesh Film Artistes
Association. In addition to films, she also worked in TV dramas and produced as
well.
