Serial killer Rasu Kha gets death for murder

A serial killer with a rally of 11 kills – all women and workers of readymade garments – has been awarded death for killing a woman in Chandpur’s Faridganj back in 2010.

Chandpur’s Women and Children Repression Prevention Tribunal Judge Abdul Mannan also found two others guilty and awarded them the same.

Serial killer Rasu Kha was arrested from Tongi on October 2009. The two others are Jahirul Islam, Rasu’s nephew, and the killer’s associate Yunus. While Jahirul is behind bars, Yunus is on the run, said Public Prosecutor Adv Habibul Islam.

After arrest, he told the law enforcers that he had murdered a total of 11 female garment workers. He narrated to them about his life, how he went to become a notorious criminal from a petty thief.

Entrapping the victims by posing as lovers, he used to take the poor and needy girls from Savar and Tongi to Chandpur and kill them after rape, he admitted to police. 

Previously, Rasu Khan was awarded death penalty in another case for murdering one Shahida, a garment worker, after rape in Chandpur Sadar in 2008.
