Police recovered the bodies of a youth and a woman from a building in the city’s North Badda area on Sunday.
The deceased were identified as Saiful Islam, 28, a security guard of the building, and Sakila, 24, who worked there as a cleaner, said Officer-in-Charge of Badda Police Station Habibur Rahman.
Acting on information from residents about a foul smell, a police team went to the three-storey building located at Plot No-5, Road No-2 of North Badda around 11:00am and found the two bodies inside a godown on the ground floor.
The OC said the two were not husband and wife. The bodies are believed to have been there for 5-7 days before being discovered.
“The actual cause of death will be known after receiving the postmortem report,” the OC added.
The bodies were sent to Dhaka Medical College Hospital morgue for autopsy.
