A plastic factory worker was slaughtered at Shaheed Nagar at Lalbagh in the old part of the city yesterday.

The victim was identified as Ramzan, 17, son of Badiuzzaman. He was a worker at a plastic factory at Islambagh.

Family sources said Ramzan went out of his house at Postagola at about 8:00pm on Saturday but did not return.

Having failed to find Ramzan, his family members informed the police.

Later, police found the slaughtered body of Ramzan near a drain of an abandoned house at Shaheed Nagar yesterday and sent it to Mitford Hospital morgue for autopsy. "The killers stabbed Ramzan indiscriminately and slaughtered him to confirm his death," police said.

The reason behind the killing could not be known immediately. Police suspected Ramzan's associates might have slaughtered him following internal conflict.

A case was filed with Lalbagh Police Station in this connection.
