Prime Minister Tarique Rahman is set to visit the family of slain child Ramisa Akter in the city’s Pallabi area tonight following the Cabinet meeting.
The Prime Minister is expected to leave for Ramisa’s residence at Pallabi in the capital around 9:00pm after the meeting, according to the Prime Minister’s Press Wing.
During the visit, he will console the bereaved family members of 8-year-old Ramisa who was killed after rape.
Earlier on Thursday, Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed said exemplary punishment would be ensured in the shortest possible time in the case.
Ramisa, a Class-II student, was raped and killed allegedly by a tenant living in a neighbouring flat in Pallabi on Tuesday last.
Police said the suspect, Sohel Rana, allegedly lured the child into his room after she left her flat in the morning. He then allegedly raped and killed her.
Ramisa’s decapitated body was later found under a bed, while her severed head was recovered from a bucket kept in the bathroom.
Locals detained the suspect’s wife, Swapna Akter, while Sohel Rana escaped by cutting through a window grille, police said.
He was later arrested in Fatullah of Narayanganj on Tuesday evening.
On Wednesday, the accused reportedly gave a confessional statement before a Dhaka court.
