Ramisa murder: Sohel Rana, wife produced before Dhaka court

The two accused in the case filed over the rape and murder of eight-year-old Ramisa Akter in the capital's Pallabi area were produced before a Dhaka court on Sunday.

Prime accused Sohel Rana, 32, and his wife, Swapna Akter, were taken to the Metropolitan Sessions Judge's Court at 10:00 am, said court sources.

Meanwhile, police are set to submit the charge sheet before the court in the case on the day.

Ramisa Akter, daughter of Abdul Hannan Molla, was 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 later 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 a window grille.

He was tracked down and arrested by police later Tuesday evening in Fatullah in Narayanganj.
