Three-Year-Old Child Murdered by Father in Ghatail
A three-year-old child named Toya was tragically murdered by her own father in Ghatail. The cruel father stabbed his daughter to death. The incident took place in the Kaitoikai village of the Sadar Union on Sunday night (November 2nd) around 10:30 PM.
The police arrested the killer father, Muktar Hossain (35), the same night. The blood-stained knife used in the crime was also recovered.
Details of the Incident
Muktar Hossain is a mason by profession. After his brother passed away, Muktar married his brother’s wife, Rumi, who had a child from her previous marriage. Muktar and Rumi subsequently had two children together, with Toya being the youngest. Muktar would often become enraged with the child.
On the night of the incident, little Toya went to bed to sleep with her mother. While she was asleep, the cruel father stabbed the young girl in the chest and abdomen. She was rushed to the Ghatail Upazila Health Complex, where the doctor pronounced her dead.
Family Claims and Police Response
The family claims that Muktar Hossain is mentally unstable and had attempted to harm his daughter multiple times before. No one could pinpoint the exact reason for his rage toward the infant.
Immediately after the incident, Officer-in-Charge (OC) Mir Mosharraf Hossain and Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Gopalpur Circle, Fouzia Habib Khan, visited the scene.
ASP Fouzia Habib Khan told Jugantor: “I visited the scene. The accused has been arrested. However, we have primarily learned that he (Muktar) was allegedly mentally disturbed. Since the accused has been apprehended, the truth will be revealed after interrogation.”
