Fresh graves unearthed: 10 more bodies including Shakil’s wife recovered, 50 officials still missing

Ten more bodies including that of Naznin Shakil Shipu, wife of slain BDR chief Maj Gen Shakil Ahmed, gunned down during the mutiny at the Peelkhana BDR headquarters on Wednesday were retrieved from three mass graves yesterday.

The recovery of bodies yesterday raised the tally of slain army officers to 110 so far. Fifty officers are still missing and they were believed to have been brutally murdered by the mutinous BDR men at Peelkhana.

Five of the bodies were identified as those of Major Mosharraf, Major Mokbul, Major Hasan, major Sakil and Major Mahabub.
