Three bodies, including that of a minor girl, were recovered from different areas of the capital by police yesterday.

The victim, a minor girl, was identified as Priti Rani Sarker, while two other bodies recovered could not be identified. The bodies were recovered from areas under Pallabi, Badda, Motijheel and Sabujbagh police stations.

Priti Rani Sarker daughter of Pradip Chandra Sarker, a class-one student of Mirpur Senanibas Government Primary School, was found dead from inside a cowshed adjacent to her home at about 9:00am, said police.

Police suspect that the assailants following past enmity with the victim's family might have strangulated the minor schoolgirl.

Priti had been missing since Tuesday noon. "After frantic search, we found her body in the cowshed and informed police, but we don't have any clue as to who are involved in the murder," said a member of her family.

Body of another unidentified girl, aged about 20, was found left in a sand-field of Aftabnagar Project under Badda thana at about 10:00am. The young girl was wearing a black salwar and kamiz.

Police suspected she was also strangulated as a black mark was found in her neck.

Meanwhile, truncated body parts of an unknown young man were recovered from Sabujbagh and Motijheel areas in the city in the afternoon.

The upper part of the victim's body was dumped in a travelling bag on the third floor of an under-construction building at Kadamtoli under Sabujbagh Police Station at about 2:00pm, while Motijheel police recovered its lower part of his body from Indrapur rail-crossing half an hour later, said police.

The motives behind these heinous killings could not be ascertained immediately.

All the bodies were sent to Dhaka Medical College Hospital morgue for autopsy.

Separate cases were filed with the police stations in this connection.
