In a ghastly incident that will chill anybody to the bone, a minor girl had to embrace death the time she was being raped because of excessive bleeding.
The incident took place in Arenda village of Jessore Sadar upazila on Sunday night.
The victim, Sabina Yeasmin, was just eight years old and a third grader at Arenda Government Primary School.
Police recovered her body from the spot around 11pm.
Officer-in-Charge of Kotwali police station Emdadul Haque Sheikh told reporters that the girl had died when she was being raped in a jute field by two locals named Anwar and Lavlu.
The two had picked her up from her residence at night when she was studying, he said, adding that her body bore marks of rape.
Outraged at the gruesome incident, locals torched residences of the alleged rapists yesterday morning.
No case was, however, lodged and none was arrested in connection with the incident as of 10pm last night.
