All of the pleas filed on behalf of Oishy Rahman, arrested over the murders of her parents, have been scrapped.
Metropolitan Magistrate Anwar Sadat, also judge of a juvenile court, threw out the appeals on Sunday.
Prakash Biswas, Mahbubul Hasan Rana and other lawyers for Oishy lodged several pleas on Saturday. They also moved the court to hear the case against her in the juvenile court that day.
Prakash Biswas told journalists they would now appeal in the High Court.
Those pleas described Oishy as a ‘mentally imbalanced’ person and demanded court’s directives to ensure her medical treatment apart from allowing her counsels to visit the crime spot.
They also sought bail for the Oxford International School student.
Police recovered the bodies of Special Branch of police Inspector Mahfuzur Rahman and his wife Swapna Begum from their Chamelibagh residence on Aug 16. Their bodies bore multiple stab wounds, which forensic experts believed, were the work of amateurs.
Oishy was on the suspect list as she left the house before the bodies were discovered.
She surrendered before Paltan police on Aug 17. Later, her domestic help Khadiza Khatun Sumi and her friend Mijanur Rahman Roni were also arrested.
Police have claimed she alone murdered her parents as she was nurturing hatred for them.
The slain police official’s brother Moshiur Rahman Rubel, also the plaintiff of the twin murder case, however, suspects ‘any other mystery’ behind the killings.
On Sunday, Oishy had given a ‘confessional’ statement before a Dhaka court at the end of her five-day remand. The court sent her and the domestic help Sumi to jail. They have been sent to Gazipur Kishori Unnayan Kendra, a juvenile correction home.
The court again sent Roni on a five-day remand as he is yet to give his confessional statement.
Meanwhile, Rights bodies had flayed the detention and remanding of Oishy and Sumi saying it violated the Children Act.
Police have already conducted a medical test to confirm her age following a court order but the reports are not ready.
Oishy’s school records show she is a minor. National Human Rights Commission Chairman Mizanur Rahman has said her arrest and remand are a complete violation of the Children Act.
Sumi is shown as a 15-year-old in the case. Sending her into police custody also raised questions. – bdnews24.com
