Drug-addled neighbours killed Bangladesh family of four, ate their food and stole their jewellery: Report
Confronting a drug addict can go badly wrong, one family in Bangladesh discovered when they came across their narcotic-imbibing neighbours. One by one, the family of four – man, wife and two children – were killed when they heard noises coming from the roof of their home and climbed up to the floor to check out the source.

A family of four in Bangladesh met a grim end after encountering their drug-addicted neighbors. The incident, which occurred in Rangpur city, unfolded on Thursday when retired schoolteacher Ganapati Chakraborty heard noises emanating from the roof of his residence. Upon climbing up to investigate, he stumbled upon his cousins, Siddhartha Das (19) and Mugdha Das (23), allegedly consuming yaba, a potent methamphetamine-based drug.
The cousins immediately attacked Chakraborty, strangling him with a towel he was carrying. Chakraborty's wife, upon hearing the commotion, ascended the roof to join her husband, only to be overpowered and killed as well. Their daughter followed suit, struggling with the killers before being strangled with a rope. In a chilling twist, the 12-year-old son was sought out and murdered to prevent him from identifying the perpetrators.
Police Commissioner Mabud revealed that the two suspects had remained in the house overnight, bathing, eating, and consuming drugs. Traces of drugs were found on a table, and the suspects had managed to make the deaths appear like a robbery gone awry by overturning cupboards and drawers, and stealing the family's gold jewelry. The bodies of the family members were discovered on Saturday, their faces burned.
The suspects have been apprehended and have confessed to the crime, with the recovered jewelry now in police custody. The investigation into this tragic event is ongoing.
