A Chittagong court on Sunday acquitted much-talked-about 'serial killer' Rasu Kha of the charge of killing a young woman after raping her at Faridganj in Chandpur.
The judge of the divisional speedy trial tribunal, Robiul Hasan, acquitted Rasu of the charges in the case filed with the Faridganj police in connection with the killing of Poppy, 19, on February 9, 2009.
Public prosecutor Ayub Khan said that the court had acquitted Rasu of the charge as the allegations against him could not be proved. He added that they would move higher court against the verdict.
He said that he had moved a petition on August 9 seeking further investigation of the case as the investigation officer could not bring any specific allegations against Rasu apart from his failure to find out the identity of the victim. The court, however, rejected the petition.
According to the case document, the police found the body of Poppy decomposed in Hansha Bill at Faridganj on February 9, 2009 and the police filed a case in connection with killing accusing unnamed people.
Rasu, who was first arrested on charge of theft, later during interrogation told the police that he had killed 11 women, including Poppy, as revenge after being rejected by a girl. He also said that he had plans to kill 101 young women.
A number of cases were filed against Rasu after he had made the statement. Sunday's verdict was the first in such cases.
