Kunio Hoshi, a Japanese citizen, is shot dead by unidentified assailants in Rangpur on Saturday...
A Japanese national was gunned down in northern district of Rangpur in the morning today, five days into the killing of an Italian citizen in Dhaka's diplomatic zone. Kunio Hoshi, 66, was shot dead at Alutary village of Kaunia upazila in the same fashion as Cesare Tavella was killed. In both cases, the assailants came in motorbike and left hurriedly after spraying bullets on the victims, according to police.
Hoshi came to Bangladesh in August this year and had an agricultural project under which he grew Napier grass on two acres of leased land in Alutary, which is five kilometres off Rangpur city. Law enforcers detained five persons for interrogation in connection with the murder.
The six include one Zakaria Bala, owner of the house at Munshipara in the city where Hoshi used to stay as a paying guest. A local contractor, Zakaria was an acquaintance of Hoshi for long. “Whenever Hoshi used to visit Bangladesh, he would stay at Zakaria’s house,” Nazrul Islam, assistant inspector general (media) at Police Headquarters, told The Daily Star. The other detainees are Md Monnaf, a rickshaw puller, Murad Hossain, 30, Humayun Kabir Hira, Abdul Matin and Titas, Abdur Razzak, superintendent of police (SP) in Rangpur, told The Daily Star.
........................ On September 28, Italian citizen Tavella was shot dead by criminals in Gulshan. He used to work as the project manager of Profitable Opportunities for Food Security (Proofs), a project of Netherlands-based organisation ICCO Cooperation.
Soon after the murder, Reuters reported that an online statement in the name of the hardline Islamist group Islamic State later claimed responsibility for the attack.
The murder stirred up controversies of a “terrorist attack” and was condemned by EU Ambassador to Bangladesh and British High Commissioner, who issued a travel alert to their citizens living in Bangladesh. They claimed militants may be targeting western interests in Bangladesh. Following the incident, United States and Canada warned their citizens of militant attacks in Bangladesh, and asked them to remain alert.
