Local police confirmed that a Japanese national was shot dead at point-blank range by motorcycle-borne gunmen in the country’s northern Rangpur district on Saturday morning.
The victim, who has yet to be identified, was aged about 55-60 and worked for a farming project in Rangpur, about 300 kilometres north of the capital Dhaka, the police official said.
The two other detainees are Md Monnaf, a rickshaw puller, and one Murad Hossain, 30, Abdur Razzak, Rangpur superintendent of police (SP), told The Daily Star.
Mr Hoshi’s body has been taken to a state-run hospital.
An official of the Japanese embassy in Dhaka stated she was making an attempt to determine the small print of the incident and call family members in Japan to get extra details about the sufferer.
The Bangladesh government sought to allay concerns over the safety of foreign nationals in the country after the second killing in a week, saying it was taking both murders “very seriously”.
The Daesh group claimed responsibility for that attack.
The Italian aid worker, Cesare Tavella, had been working in Dhaka for a Netherlands-based church cooperative, serving as program manager for a project focusing on food security and economic development for people living in rural areas in Bangladesh. It described the killing as an “isolated incident”.
After Tavella’s killing, the USA, the United Kingdom, Canada, Switzerland and Italy issued travel alerts for their citizens in Bangladesh.
