A court in Barguna on Friday granted seven-day remand to interrogate two suspected killers of Rifat Sharif in the district.
The two suspects are ‘Hasan’ and ‘Chandan’, both named in a case initiated by Rifat’s father Dulal Sharif against 12 people, reports bdnews24.com.
The court also gave police three days to interrogate another suspect, Nazmul Hasan, Barguna Superintendent of Police Md Maruf Hossain said.
Rifat and his wife Aysha Siddika Minny were returning home from Barguna Government College, of which she is a student, on Wednesday morning when the attackers swooped down on him.
The lead assailant, Nayon Bond, had sexually harassed Minny before her marriage two months ago as he wanted to marry her, the woman alleged.
Nayon and two others, Rifat Forazi and Rishan Forazi, carried out the main part of the attack when the assailants hacked her husband with sharp weapons, Minny said.
A video of the incident has gone viral on social media, sending shocks throughout the country and prompting the government to promise immediate action.
