Police have recovered the bodies of four members of the same family from a house in Niamatpur Upazila of Naogaon. The bodies were rescued Wednesday morning around 8:00 AM from Bahadurpur village, confirmed Officer-in-Charge Mahbubur Rahman of the local Thana. 

The those killed identified as Habibur Rahman (35), his wife Popy Khatun (30), and their two children—Parvez Hossain (10) and Sadia Khatun (3).

According to police, Habibur Rahman and his wife were killed by having their throats slit, while their two children were beaten to death with blows to the head. Parvez was a fifth-grade student at Bahadur Government Primary School.

Police and local sources said Habibur Rahman was a cattle trader. He returned home Monday night around 8:00 PM after selling cattle at a local market in Manda and was carrying approximately 280,000 taka.

Investigators suspect that criminals entered the house with the intention of robbery and killed the family members to avoid identification. Gold ornaments were also reportedly looted from the house, including earrings taken from Popy Khatun.

Officer-in-Charge Mahbubur Rahman said the initial investigation suggests the killings were carried out during a robbery. Police are continuing efforts to identify and apprehend those involved.
