Cops hunt for 3 suspects

A law enforcement agency yesterday said it has photos of three suspects in the killing of Italian national Cesare Tavella.

In one photo, a suspect is seen walking while talking on the phone. Another photo shows two of them riding a motorbike.

The agency handed over the photos to different media outlets yesterday but it did not disclose the sources of the photos. 

Sources in the agency said they were trying to hunt down the suspects.

Monirul Islam, joint commissioner of Detective Branch of Dhaka Metropolitan Police, told The Daily Star recently that they did not have any CCTV camera coverage of the killing spot.

However, they had collected footages recorded by 155 CCTV cameras in the Gulshan area.

Tavella, a technical director of a Netherlands-based development organisation, was shot dead in the capital's Gulshan on September 28.

The victim was found with bullet wounds around 6:15pm not far from the house of the governor of Bangladesh Bank on Road-90 in Gulshan-2.
