Appears to be another case where a drug-addicted daddy took out his hostility against the mother by killing her child. Also seems the daddy--who is only identified as JOHNY--dumped the little boy's body in the garbage. As if that doesn't tell you everything you need to know about this father....

'Drug addict' kills 2-year-old son?
Mother sues him, 6 others
Staff Correspondent
The drug-addict father of a two-year-old has been suspected of murdering his only child, whose body police dug up at the capital's Osmany Udyan on Friday morning.
The child's mother Shanta Islam yesterday filed a murder case against seven people, including the father Johny, his parents and siblings, said Sirajul Islam, officer-in-charge of Shahbagh Police Station.
Some street urchins first saw the body while scavenging garbage at the park around 7:30am and informed the joggers there who, in turn, informed the police.
Shahbagh police rushed to the spot, recovered the body and sent it to Dhaka Medical College morgue.
The child's parents lived separately in Old Dhaka's Suritola area. Johny took the child, Ahad, from his mother on Thursday evening, saying he would show Ahad around the area, said Ahad's maternal grandfather Abul Hossain.
Both of them had gone missing since then, he added. Shanta's relatives went to Johny's house in search of the child but found neither Ahad nor anybody else there.
On Friday evening, Shanta and her relatives went to Bangshal Police Station to file a general diary in this connection. It was then that the police told Shanta about the child's body found at Osmany Udyan.
Shanta and her relatives contacted Shahbagh police that night. She came to the DMC morgue yesterday noon and identified the body.
Morgue sources said the boy was strangled to death.
After the post mortem, the body was taken to Suritola. The child was buried at Azimpur graveyard yesterday evening.
Before the burial, a procession was brought out in Suritola and it paraded the area for about half an hour, demanding Johny's arrest and punishment.
Johny and Shanta got secretly married six years ago. When their marriage came to light, Johny wanted to take Shanta to his house but his family opposed it, Ahad's grandfather said.
The couple often had arguments over the matter and Johny wanted to divorce Shanta. Johny had recently been addicted to drugs, added the grandfather.
Police raided Johny's Suritola house but could not find any of the accused.

Father guilty of manslaughter in baby's death
By Alison Auld The Canadian Press
HALIFAX – A judge convicted a Halifax man Friday in the death of his baby daughter, finding the new father slapped, shook and tossed her after becoming frustrated by a series of business failures and the cries of his child.
Nova Scotia Supreme Court Judge Felix Cacchione found Ashiqur Rahman guilty of manslaughter and aggravated assault, and described him as a manipulative, domineering man who controlled much of what happened in his home.
Cacchione said Rahman, who’s in his late 20s, had little interest in his new baby and was solely focused on starting an online business in Canada after moving here from Bangladesh.
“The evidence satisfies me that Mr. Rahman had no bond with his daughter,” Cacchione said in his ruling that took 2 1/2 hours to read.
“His focus was on his business, himself and nothing else.”
Rahman, wearing a black T-shirt emblazoned with an Ashiqur Industries logo, sat quietly during the lengthy proceeding, but appeared surprised when the judge remanded him into custody and said “I didn’t do anything,” as he was led away by justice officials.
A sentencing hearing was scheduled for Aug. 7.
Rahman had pleaded not guilty to both charges in the death of seven-week-old Aurora Breakthrough in July 2009.
The prosecution argued that the case hinged on Rahman’s credibility versus that of the baby’s mother, Jane Gomes, who testified she saw her ex-boyfriend slap and shake the newborn in the weeks before she died.
Gomes received a conditional discharge with six months probation for failing to provide the necessities of life for Aurora.
Gomes sat in the second row of the court gallery and was surrounded by supporters as Cacchione read his verdict. One of them had her arm around the petite woman, who had her head down for much of the verdict.
Gomes didn’t speak to reporters as she left court.
Crown attorney Denise Smith said she was pleased with the decision and that Gomes was relieved to have a measure of vindication in the death of her daughter.
“She was quite tearful. I think she felt very vindicated,” Smith said outside court.
“We were attempting to show that … Mr. Rahman was frustrated by the demands of a young infant and the crying of a young infant, particularly. The judge found those facts as indications of a motive by Mr. Rahman.”
Cacchione found Rahman slapped Aurora “in anger and frustration” on June 29, only to slap her forcefully enough a week later to cause bleeding around the brain.
He said that on July 22, a frustrated Rahman either tossed or dropped the baby on the couple’s bed, causing the injuries that led to her death.
Rahman and Gomes are both from Bangladesh and came to Canada to study computer science at Acadia University in Wolfville, N.S., before moving to Halifax.
In closing arguments in April, the Crown argued that Rahman’s denials that he abused the child didn’t stand up against the testimony of the baby’s mother.
Smith said Gomes made some poor choices in failing to take the baby away after witnessing the abuse, but added that Gomes was telling the truth about Rahman’s tendency to lose control and harm Aurora.
The defence argued that Gomes’s testimony was motivated by a desire to shift blame away from herself, and came only after reaching a plea bargain with the Crown.
“I still stand behind my client as to what he had to say about his involvement in his daughter’s death,” Don Murray said outside court.
“It’s unfortunate that the judge chose not to accept what he had to say.”
Murray also argued that evidence from pathologists and medical experts didn’t prove Aurora died as a result of being shaken or hit. He said a pediatric cardiologist found Aurora had a congenital heart condition and it’s possible that played a role in her cardiac arrest on July 23, 2009, four days before she died in hospital.
Cacchione accepted that Aurora had an undiagnosed heart condition, but he said he doesn’t believe the condition caused her death.
He also accepted evidence of the emergency room doctor who testified that Aurora’s injuries were likely caused by non-accidental trauma and not from a cardiac event.
Testimony from several physicians who treated Aurora revealed that she had multiple rib fractures, retinal hemorrhages and brain injuries from various times in her short life.
The medical examiner who did the autopsy on Aurora concluded that the cause of death was a blunt force injury to her head, a finding that Cacchione accepted in his verdict.
Cacchione said Rahman became frustrated after a succession of business failures, “dire” financial circumstances and the stress of caring for a crying newborn.
He also called Rahman a “manipulator” who dictated where they lived and how money being sent from Bangladesh was spent.
“He is someone who likes to be in control and not someone who likes being told he is wrong,” Cacchione said.
He added that Rahman was physically, emotionally and verbally abusive to Gomes, who met him at Acadia University in 2008.
Rahman had little interest in his daughter, the judge said, noting that he left the hospital more than an hour after she was born and took a month to name her.

Dad makes death threats against famous daughter-actress (London, England, United Kingdom)
Dad ABUL AZAD--along his son--"allegedly" assaulted and threatened to kill Afshan Azad of Harry Potter fame for "meeting" a young Hindu man. The daughter is an adult, and obviously self-supporting. But that doesn't keep her violent father from wanting total control of her life, does it? All in the name of his sacred religion, of course. This woman is obviously terrified for her life--and for good reason.

Harry Potter star beaten up by brother over Hindu boyfriend
Afshan fled after father and brother assaulted and threatened to kill her.
LONDON: Afshan Azad, who stars in the Harry Potter movies, was beaten and threatened with death by her father and brother after she met a young Hindu man, the Manchester Crown Court was told on Monday.
Afshan, 22, plays Padma Patil, a witch and classmate of the boy wizard. The court heard that she had been so terrified by the violent confrontation that Afshan fled through her bedroom window after her father, Abul Azad (53) and brother Ashraf (28) called her a prostitute, assaulted and threatened to kill her.
The incident took place on May 21 after which Afshan, who is of Bangladeshi origin, reportedly fled to London after making a statement to the police. Later, however, she decided she did not want any action to be taken against her family and failed to turn up as a witness in court on Monday.
According to some reports this is because she feared that pursuing the case would put her in ‘genuine danger’. She reportedly also told police that her father wanted to force her into an arranged marriage. The judge heard that she refused to give evidence despite ‘expensive and time consuming efforts’ made by the prosecution service.
Both men had been charged with making threats to kill her and her brother was charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm. In the absence of a witness, the prosecution accepted a guilty plea from Afshan’s brother for assault and her father accepted to be bound over to keep the peace for 12 months. The brother is on bail awaiting sentencing.
