A Hindu priest has been hacked to death during an attack on a temple in Bangladesh’s Panchgarh district.
Police said two people on motorbikes fired guns at Jogeshwar Roy as he left the temple, which attackers had been throwing stones at.
The men on bikes also set off explosives, injuring two other Hindu worshippers who were attempting to help the 50-year-old priest after he was attacked with what with police officer Kafil Uddin described as a sharp weapon.
The two men fled the scene following the murder, which comes less than a year after a string of similar attacks on secular bloggers. No group has claimed responsibility so far for the killing. Full story...
