Police recovered the blood-stained bodies of two sisters from a flat in West Shewrapara’s Shamim Swarani area in Dhaka on Friday night.
The deceased were identified as Mariam, 60, and her sister Sufia, 50, reports UNB.
Mirpur model police station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Sajjadur Rahman said being informed by locals, a police team rushed to the spot around 8:45 pm and found the bodies in the flat on the second-floor of a 6-storey building.
The bodies were later sent to Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College Hospital morgue, he said.
“Initially it seems that the victims were killed using a traditional stone grinder and a knife,” OC Sajjad added.
He said Mariam’s 26-year-old daughter Misti, who lives in the flat and works for a private company, was not at home at the time of the incident.
The building’s caretaker has been brought in for questioning.
