A Dhaka court on Thursday set October 1 for the hearing on the bail petition of Oishee Rahman, arrested on charges of murdering her parents.
Dhaka Metropolitan Session’s Judge Md Jahrul Hoque fixed the date after Oishee’s lawyer, Advocate Prakash Ranjan Bishwas, filed the petition in the morning.
On Wednesday, the High Court ordered the government to transfer Oishee Rahman to Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University from Kashimpur Women’s Prison for in-depth assessment of her mental condition before and immediately after the murder of her parents and up to her surrender to the police.
Oishee, a 19-year-old accused of murdering her parents – Police Inspector Mahfuzur Rahman and his wife Swapna Begum – surrendered to the police on August 17 and was remanded for five days from August 18. She confessed her involvement in the killing on August 25, but later retracted the confession.
