Body parts came from a medical college: Police


Police now suspects that the 16 severed human body parts and 13 bones which were recovered from Dhaka South City Corporation landfill in Matuail on Friday, came from an anatomy department of some medical college in the capital.

Demra zone’s Assistant Commissioner of police Minhazul Islam said the bones and body parts were chemically decomposed with material used to preserve bodies. “It seems absurd that criminals would preserve the bodies after killing,” he observed.

Minhazul Islam said some veins of the bodies were cut off similar to the way anatomy students at medical colleges cut while learning dissection. The bones were also attached by screw, which matches with works by medical students at dissection class, he added.

A police official of Jatrabari Police Station seeking anonymity said, a primary probe has found that the bodies were dumped by a private medical college at Dhanmondi. It is illegal to dump bodies for medical use, he added.

However, Inspector (Investigation) of Jatrabari Police Station Abani Shankar Kar said, they will not comment over the issue before the DNA test is done.

Meanwhile, a medical board is supposed to be set up at Sir Salimullah Medical College to conduct the DNA test.
