Rafiqul Islam, who was 51, and Mahiqul, 16, from the capital's Riverside area, were found unconscious in the north-eastern region of the city of Sylhet on Tuesday, July 26.

Police officers had to break into the building after relatives raised the alarm. However, the pair died whilst on their way to hospital.

There taxi driver Mr Islam's daughter, Samira, 20, is said to remain in a critical condition. His wife, Husnara, 45, and their eldest son, 24-year-old Sadiqul, are currently both believed to be out of danger.
