The bodies of a missing Old Dhaka businessman and his son were found in 200 pieces in Gazipur yesterday in one of the most grisly murders over the years, sending shock waves through the city.
The killings of Shamsul Haq and his son Russell Sheikh came to light two days after police found their driver hacked to death in Dhamrai, about 50 kilometres off Dhaka, in the first signs of the macabre incident that underlined security fears of businesspeople.


The 56-year-old and his 29-year-old son went missing after they left home with Tk 2 lakh on Friday after a phone call from Kajal, a close family friend and business partner, accused as the prime suspect in a case filed with Sutrapur Police Station.

Kajal is evading capture, but police arrested a man locally known as Kuttu in Sabujbagh with potential links to the killings.


"How can a human kill another in such a way? It's a bestial act," Russell's sister Yasmin said of the murders that numbed their family.


Locals found two sacks filled with parts of chest and stomach at Bhograo near Dhaka-Mymensingh Highway shortly before 7:00am and alerted police.


Two hours later and eight kilometres off the scene of the first recovery, police retrieved two skinned heads and four severed wrists in a pack at Nanduail Eidgah field.


Witnesses said four legs from the knee down were found in Bimbazar -- half a kilometre from Nanduail -- and four pairs of gloves and scraps of human flesh were discovered wrapped in layers of newspaper and polythene and duct-taped in two large travel bags at Bhawal National Park.


Police pieced together the body parts and facial skins and matched them with the newspaper pictures of Haq and Russell.

The assembled human remains were sent to Gazipur Sadar Hospital for autopsy and informed the victims' family in Dhaka. In-laws of Haq and Russell identified the bodies on the afternoon.


Back in Dhaka, police retrieved frozen upper thighs of the father and the son in two large bags from the sidewalk of a Dhanmondi road at about 4:00pm.

Earlier, 19 pieces of their bodies were recovered from two locations in Dhanmondi hours after the body of driver Moazzem was found in the rear seat of a car in Dautia village near Dhamrai Police Station at 11:30pm Friday.
