Nuruddin and Shahadat Hossain Shamim, two prime accused of madrasa student Nusrat Jahan Rafi killing case, reportedly confessed today before a court in Feni to their part in the incident.

They gave ‘confessional’ statements before the court of Senior Judicial Magistrate Md Zakir Hossain in the afternoon, said Shah Alam, an Inspector of Police Bureau of Investigation and investigation officer of the case.

He, however, declined to elaborate further for the sake of investigation.

After fighting for her life for five days, Nusrat succumbed to her injuries at Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) in the capital on April 10.

On April 6, she was set afire at an examination centre of Alim examination allegedly by students loyal to Principal Siraj Ud Doula of Sonagazi Islamia Senior Fazil Madrasa after he was arrested and subsequently suspended as Rafi had accused him of sexually harassing her.
