BDR Carnage Case
Witness identifies Maj Mamun's killers
Prosecution witness Sepoy Keramot Ali identified Nayek Subedar Islam Uddin and Lance Nayek Mozammel Hossain as the killers of Maj Mamun.
While giving his deposition before a makeshift court in the capital, Keramot also identified five soldiers and a civilian who beat up Mamun before he was killed.
They took Maj Mamun to the northwest corner of soldiers' mess of 24 Rifles Battalion where Islam Uddin and Mozammel Hossain were waiting with firearms.
“Then they killed Mamun sir,” said Keramot, who was a member of 24 rifles battalion of the then Bangladesh Rifles.
Keramot got frightened following the incident and hid himself in a garden, the witness said before the court trying the accused of Pilkhana carnage case.
Later, the defence counsel cross-examined Keramot. The 20th witness Maj Kamrul was testifying before the court at 2:15pm when the report was filed.
Earlier on Monday, another prosecution witness Nayek Motaleb Mia of 24 Rifles Battalion, while giving deposition, mentioned the names of four soldiers who beat and dragged Major Mamun a few moments before killing him.
A total 74 people, including 57 army officers, were killed during the two-day carnage at Pilkhana headquarters in 2009.
