Earlier, on 19 May, Ramisa, a second-grader of Mirpur Popular Model High School, went missing in the morning.
During a search, her shoes were found outside the flat of neighbour Sohel Rana, a tenant in the same building.
After breaking open the door, police recovered Ramisa's decapitated body inside the flat and her severed head from a bathroom bucket.
Preliminary investigations revealed that Sohel lured Ramisa into his flat, raped and murdered her, and then dismembered the body in an attempt to destroy evidence.
Swapna was arrested at the scene. Later, police arrested Sohel in Fatullah, Narayanganj.
