Two minor brothers were found dead at Dhulipara in Comilla Sadar South upazila today.

They entered the house opening the door only to see Joy and Moni lying dead on the ground.

On information, police recovered the bodies.

Police and locals said Kalam has another son, Shafiul Alam Chhotan, 22, a private university student, and daughter Tanjila from his first wife Rokeya Begum.

Kalam said Chhotan might have killed two children as he could not accept from the very begging his second marriage with Rekha Akter, mother of Joy and Moni.

Abdullah Al Mamun, additional superintendent (South) of police in Comilla, said the children might have been strangulated to death as there were black marks on the necks of the victims.
