Khagrachhari: Two young men, arrested in connection with the killing of a Jubo League leader in Rangamati, made confessional statements before a court here on Sunday.

Chief Judicial Magistrate Rokeya Akter recorded the statements of the two arrestees---Runel Chakma and Junel Chakma-under section 164 and then sent them to jail.

Tarek Mohammad Abdul Hannan, officer-in-charge of Sadar Police Station, said they gave elaborate description of the incident in their statements.

Earlier, on Friday, police arrested Runel Chakma and Junel Chakma from different parts of Chittagong and Dighinala upazila of Khagrachhari district in connection with the killing of Nayan, organising secretary of Rangamati sadar union unit Jubo League.

Following interrogation, police recovered the motorbike, owned by Nayan, from Maini River in Dighinala upazila.
