Bangladesh: Triple Murder Case Involves Local Government Advisor
In Bangladesh, a woman named Ruma says her mother and siblings were killed because of a fight over a building construction project.
She thinks a local official's father helped the attackers.
The police say the family was involved in drugs.
Ruma disagrees, saying it was because her mother supported a different political party.
She says that the police took too long to come and help them.
