Two persons were killed in separate incidents under Sutrapur and Motijheel Police Station areas in the capital yesterday.

Family sources said Abdur Razzak, 65, was stabbed to death allegedly by snatchers at Rai Shaheb Bazar in Sutrapur area.

A gang of muggers intercepted Razzak while he was returning to his Rajanighosh Lane residence in Old Dhaka from Gandaria by a rickshaw at about 6:30am.
