According to the Gangarampur Police Station, the incident happened at Chaynabas Village on November 16, 2019, (Saturday).

Preliminary investigations revealed that 28-year-old Babu Hossain, the killer, was living with his sister, sick father, and 2 nieces.

Due to his unstable condition, the family placed him in chains inside their house.

On November 16, the family removed the shackles so he could roam free, but instead of being calm, Babu got hold of a hoe inside the house.

He went on to kill 30-year-old Mehernigar Khatun, 22-year-old Gulnihar Parveen, and 9-year-old Priyanka Khatun, his sister and 2 nieces.

The bodies of Mehernigar Khatun, Gulnihar Parveen, and Priyanka Khatun were sent for an autopsy.
