Hurt Taiwanese couple flown back home for better treatment

A Taiwanese couple, who were attacked during a recent robbery in their Uttara residence in Dhaka, was flown back home for better treatment on Thursday night.

Samir Hasib, manager of PVC door company owned by the couple Wang Ming Chee, 54, and his wife Lily Hawa, 50, confirmed it.

Even after more than a week, police could neither arrest two of the three suspects nor recover Tk 6 lakh looted from their house.

Abu Bakar Miah, officer-in-charge of Uttara-East Police Station, said they were trying to arrest the two Raju and Saju, brothers-in-law of the prime accused Jahangir, who was arrested earlier.

Jahangir, a former staff of the company, has confessed to the crime before a court, the police official added.

On November 6, the three accused entered into their residence and hit them with some hard object as they tried to resist the robbery, police said.

The Taiwanese couple was initially admitted to Apollo Hospitals Dhaka.
