Besides Shaon and his mother, their house help 'Rashida' was at the house during the incident.

She told the media that she was working at the kitchen.

"Someone suddenly locked the door of the kitchen from outside. I cried so that Amma (Shamsunnahar) could hear and open the door. But no one came for a long time," Rashida said.

"I heard a loud cry at the time. Later, the security guard opened the door," she said.

The guard of apartment told police that a man coming from upstairs told him that a fight had started there. Then he went to the upper floors and found the bodies.
