DHAKA, Dec 11, 2025 (BSS) - A court here today placed housemaid Ayesha Akter and her husband Rabbi on different terms of remand in a case lodged over the murder of housewife Laila Afroz and her daughter Nafisa Lawal Binte Aziz in the capital's Mohammadpur area.

Of the two accused, Ayesha was placed on a six-day remand, while her husband Rabbi was remanded for three days.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mahbub Alam passed the order after police produced the duo before the court and sought 10 days remand for each of them.

According to the case documents, Ayesha was hired as a domestic worker on December 5 for the Shahjahan Road flat of schoolteacher Azizul Islam. On December 8, Azizul left for his workplace in Uttara as usual and later tried to contact his wife several times but failed to reach her.

Concerned, he returned home around 11 am, where he discovered his wife's body inside the flat. His 15-year-old daughter was found critically injured. With assistance from an apartment staff member, Azizul rushed her to hospital, where doctors declared her dead.

Azizul later filed a case with Mohammadpur Police Station.
