Singapore’s Straits Times reports..

Bangladeshi police arrested five bus helpers on charges of killing and gang-raping a law student on a moving bus Friday (Aug 25) night.

A team of police raided Madhupur bus station early Tuesday and arrested Habib, 40, Gendu, 35, Shamim, 30, Akram, 30, and Jahangir, 20, and seized the bus.

Bus helpers Shamim, Akram, and Jahangir have already made confessional statements before senior judicial magistrates, court officials said. Police were interrogating the two others.

Following a tip-off from a bus passenger, police recovered the body of the victim, Rupa Khatun Pramanik, 27, beside a highway in the Pachish Mile area around 11pm on Friday.
