'Husband' kills pregnant woman
A pregnant woman was stabbed to death allegedly by her husband at Dighli village in Sylhet's Bishwanath upazila yesterday.
The deceased was Halima Begum Helena, 22, wife of CNG-run auto-rickshaw driver Nazrul Islam Zulfikar, a resident of the village.
Quoting family members, Masudur Rahman, officer-in-charge (investigation) of Bishwanath Police Station, said Halima's husband called her in their house when she was washing clothes in a pond around 8:00am. When Halima entered a room of the house, Zulfikar locked the door from inside.
Later, Zulfikar's mother heard the screams of Halima and knocked on the door.
Hearing no response, she informed the locals who entered the room by cutting the tin roof and found Zulfikar sitting beside Halima's body.
Police recovered the body and arrested Zulfikar in this connection. “During primary investigation, Zulfikar confessed that he stabbed Halima,” the OC added.
